ForschungLaufende ProjektePublic Transportation Systems’ Accessibility for People with Disabilities in Europe (PT Access) The first task of PTaccess is to collect and to systemise information on the current state of accessibility of urban and rural public transport systems for people with disabilities in 25 EU member states. For each member state PTaccess analyses the state of accessibility of public transport from the point of view of national disabled organisations, national transport operators, and governmental authorities. For this, PTaccess directly contacts national experts within each of 25 member states and parallelly draws on results of other projects and initiatives. Furthermore PTaccess identifies and analyses good practices and innovation in making public transport accessible, and enhance the scientific base of policy by providing a sound assessment of the costs and benefits of making public transport accessible. PTaccess deepens the understanding of the transport-related contexts of social exclusion of disabled people, and draws conclusions about the effect which accessible public transport has on employment and social inclusion prospects for disabled people.
