VRR promotes barrier -free bus stops: mobility for everyone!

Gelsenkirchen, Deutschland - The transport association Rhein-Ruhr (VRR) takes a crucial step to improve mobility for people with disabilities. He supports the municipalities financially in the barrier -free expansion of bus stops in order to increase the independence and flexibility of passengers. This initiative is particularly important because barrier -free stops are a basic requirement for inclusive mobility. The VRR relieves the cities and circles through financial aid and at the same time offers organizational support in planning and implementing these modernization projects, such as on localkompass.de

promote accessibility

The guidelines of the VRR, which affect the stop equipment, are designed to ensure a uniform standard for accessibility at bus stops. These guidelines define which structural measures are necessary to enable unreserved use of public transport for all people. In particular, care is taken to ensure that the stops are both optically and functionally accessible, which improves the entire accessibility in public transport, as described in the official documents of the VRR href = "https://www.vrr.de/fileadmin/user_upload/pdf/der_vrr/statzensin_ichlinien/rili_zur_oespv-haltstellenstellung_7_2019.pdf"> vrr.de

Through these committed measures, the VRR pursues the goal of securing the participation of all citizens in local public transport and thus significantly improving the quality of life for people with mobility restrictions. The initiative is in a clear connection with the steadily growing need for modern and inclusive transport infrastructures in the region.
