Guide to bus accessibility
Making public transport accessible to ail means
allowing every citizen to participate in a full and
active life. The development of low floor buses has
been a first step towards this aim. The pioneering
cities where thèse buses hâve been introduced hâve
demonstrated the need to develop a «Systems»
oriented approach and give particular attention to
the design of bus stops.
This ensures that the performances required to
provide access for reduced mobility persons are
attained, without limiting the notion of reduced
mobility to motor handicaps alone. Consequently, a
large number of partners are involved, such as
transport organisation authorities, local authorities,
network operators, etc., which should work in
association with the passengers représentatives.
How can the design and facilities of bus stops be
adapted? What type of bus and equipment should
be chosen? How can the bus driver be aided in
drawing up at stops? How should existing facilities
be diagnosed? How can solid partnerships be set up?
This methodological guide was written at the
demand of the Land Transport Department and
provides answers based on feedback from cities of
ail sizes in France and abroad. It is the resuit of work
carried out by a steering committee grouping diffé­
rent partners and experts representing associations
of reduced mobility persons.
In order to ensure continuous mobility, making
regular bus lines accessible must be carried out in
synergy with other modes of public transport,
not forgetting specialised transport and the city's
infrastructure.
Guia Bus Accesible
Hacer que el transporte pûblico sea accesible a
todos significa permitir y facilitar la participaciôn de
todos los ciudadanos en una vida activa y compléta.
La introducciôn de vehiculos de plataforma baja ha
sido un primer paso. Las ciudades pioneras que han
comenzado a utilizar estos autobuses han demo-
strado que era necesario desarrollar un enfoque
«sistema» y sobre todo, acondicionar las paradas.
Es la garantia para conseguir los resultados exigidos
para el acceso de las personas con movilidad
reducida, sin restringir el alcance de esta locuciôn al
ûnieo handicap motor. Asi, estàn implicados varios
colaboradores: entidades organizadoras de
transporte, colectividades locales, empresas de redes
de transporte, a los que deben estar asociados los
représentantes de los usuarios.
