The outcome of the study is a catalogue of measures that simplifies rail travel for people with reduced mobility in Austria.
The project included:
- Analysis of barriers for people with reduced mobility in current rail passenger transport (rolling stock as well as stops and stations) in Austria.
- Collection and structured survey of international good-practice examples for barrier-free accessibility and usability of rail passenger transport.
- Catalogue of measures that could practically be implemented in Austrian rail transport in order to ease travelling for people with reduced mobility.
