EDF represents passengers with disabilities in EU policies Member of different working groups on different transport modes (air, rail, road, sea) Cooperation with EU institutions and transport industry Experts both on EU policies as well as technical standards Based on UN CRPD principles: access to transport is a right, not a luxury! EDF – WHO ARE WE? …………………………………………………………………………………………….. The passengers‘ perspective in transport: what are the real needs of persons with disabilities? Marie Denninghaus, 10 September 2015

Transport links to many other areas of life: e.g. employment, education, shopping, hobbies, participating in society as an active citizen! Persons with disabilities should have access “on an equal basis with others” Persons with disabilities are also customers Accessible transport is more comfortable for everyone WHY IS TRANSPORT ACCESSIBILITY IMPORTANT? …………………………………………………………………………………………….. The passengers‘ perspective in transport: what are the real needs of persons with disabilities? Marie Denninghaus, 10 September 2015

Lack of accessibility (infrastructure, vehicles, information) Lack of information (booking assistance, available services, etc.) Lack of awareness and training (staff, general public) THE CURRENT SITUATION …………………………………………………………………………………………….. The passengers‘ perspective in transport: what are the real needs of persons with disabilities? Marie Denninghaus, 10 September 2015

Seamless, multi-modal, accessible travel chain from door to door Easy, accessible booking and through ticketing Raised level of awareness and rights (UN Convention) Use of “Universal Design” principles Equal access and reasonable accommodation – no separate solutions WHAT NEEDS TO BE ACHIEVED ………………………………………………………………………………………….. The passengers‘ perspective in transport: what are the real needs of persons with disabilities? Marie Denninghaus, 10 September 2015

EU Accessibility Act and supporting legislation More systematic involvement of persons with disabilities via the representative organisations Use of “Universal Design” principles Harmonised EU standards Accessibility as part of the wider urban environment HOW THIS CAN BE DONE …………………………………………………………………………………………..
