1 BEST PRACTICES FOR ACCESSIBLE TRANSPORT by C G B (Kit) Mitchell

2 Independent mobility is necessary for independent living

3 Many people with disabilities use cars, either as driver or passenger Those who rely on public transport need a range of options rail, bus, taxi, dial a ride Everybody needs mobility as a pedestrian or assisted walker

4 This talk touches on rail transport, but focuses on accessibility for pedestrians and on local bus passengers

5 In most countries, around 12 to 16 per cent of the population have some degree of disability The probability of experiencing a disability of some kind increases with age

6 Percent with difficulty or. unable to manage PERSONS WITH MOBILITY DIFFICULTIES AND UNABLE TO MANAGE ON OWN - BRITAIN men with mobility difficulties men unable to walk on own women with mobility difficulties women unable to walk on own Age group

7 Disabilities can be locomotive (walking, climbing, balancing), sensory (seeing or hearing), cognitive impairment or mental health problems. A significant minority of disabled people have multiple impairments

8 ACCESS TO RAILWAYS

9 Accessible rail services Issues Access to station platforms; Getting from platform to the train; Narrow doors and corridors in trains; Places for wheelchairs; Toilets on trains

10 Access to station platforms

11 LEIPZIG STATION STAIRS TO PLATFORM LEVEL

12 PASSENGERS CARRY BAGS AND BABIES THE STAIRS CAUSE DIFFICULTIES FOR MANY PASSENGERS Baby buggies Luggage

13 Stairs and escalator at Dutch station

14 Elevator at metro station - UK

15 Access from platform to train

16 High platforms make access easier

17 High platforms make access easier

18 Portable ramp being fitted

19 Ramp ready for use

20 Passenger boards

21 Space for wheelchair Britain

22 One solution for low platform is to build a short length of raised platform, then use a bridge at the train door

23 Local raised platform - Canada

24 Local raised platform - Canada

25 Local raised platform - Canada

26 Local raised platform - Canada

27 Mobile lift to load wheelchair Switzerland

28 Information at stations - Britain

29 Information at stations - Japan

30 Information at stations - Japan

31 PEDESTRIANS

32 Pedestrians need - Easy walking conditions; - Routes avoiding steps; - Direct routes; - Safe road crossings; - Personal security; and - A good environment.

33 Sufficient path width, good surface This 1.7m path is barely wide enough: m would be better

34 Powered wheelchair on cycle path

35 Ramped kerbs help everybody

36 Plentiful seats and resting places 10% of adults cannot walk 400m without a rest; 5% cannot walk 50m without a rest

37 Pedestrian priority for reduced traffic, safety to walk and a good environment

38 Pedestrianised Jyväskylä, Finland

39 Pedestrian priority street - York, England

40 Pedestrian priority street - York, England

41 Pedestrian priority street - Istanbul

42 Narrowed road - Toulouse

43 Pedestrian friendly - Copenhagen

44 Residential areas - woonerf - Netherlands

45 Home zone Britain safe for children

46 Road crossings

47 Visibility is better if the sidewalk is extended Pedestrians can see traffic Drivers can see pedestrians

48 Road narrowed at crossing - England Ramped kerb with tactile warning

49 Central refuges, to divide a two-way road into two one-way roads

50 Pedestrian refuge on 2-way road

51 Side road junction with centre refuge

52 Light-controlled crossings (PUFFINs) that extend the time for slow walkers Head to watch traffic Head to watch pedestrians on crossing Ramped kerb, tactile warning

53 Road raised to sidewalk level at crossing Crossing lights with pedestrian call button and audio signal Tactile warning strip at edge of sidewalk

54 Side road speed table - London

55 Bollards to keep vehicles off footway

56 LOCAL BUSES

57 Access to local buses has been transformed by the introduction of low floor buses

58 Low floor bus - easy for everybody Bus kneels to reduce step height No internal step at entrance or exit

59 Passenger in a wheelchair boards using the ramp Call button for wheelchair ramp

60 Entrance ramp - Warsaw

61 WHEELCHAIR POSITION LONDON Wheelchair unrestrained against backrest in safe compartment Stanchion prevents sideways movement of wheelchair

62 Wheelchair position - Barcelona Seatbelt for security

63 Low-floor tram in service - Dresden, Germany

64 Bus stops Buses can get closer to the kerb at bus stops if the sidewalk is extended into the road about 2 metres

65 PROJECTING BUS STOP BOARDER OR CAPE Sidewalk built-out about 2 metres at bus stop Sidewalk extended into road m Bus at stop Parking Sidewalk Shelter 9 to 13m Parking Guard post with reflective markings

66 Bus boarder, Belfast

67 This type of bus stop can have the sidewalk raised to provide level boarding

68 Pavement raised at bus stop

69 Level boarding at a raised bus stop Platform level with bus entrance

70 Where low floor buses are not practical or affordable, buses can be improved by small design changes

71 Low steps, good handrails, plentiful stanchions and grab handles, make buses much easier to use. Training drivers to wait until passengers are seated reduces accidental falls

72 Low step and good handrails Handrails each side of entrance, colour contrasted Retractable lower step

73 Low steps at low cost - Britain

74 Many stanchions to hold Colour contrast for easy visibility Colour contrast on step edges

75 Destination signs and communication equipment

76 Destination display

77 Information for passengers at bus stops

78 Timetable and map at bus stops

79 TAXIS

80 Wheelchair accessible taxi - UK

81 Wheelchair accessible taxi - UK

82 Wheelchair accessible taxi - UK

83 Wheelchair accessible taxi - UK

84 Wheelchair accessible taxi - UK

85 Accessible transport needs much more than good infrastructure and accessible vehicles. As well as information, access requires trained staff, policies to support accessibility, and reliability to give confidence.

86 Getting these soft factors correct can be much more difficult than providing infrastructure and vehicles. Operators must make the users requirements their first priority.

87 A family of public transport services offers choice: - Accessible main public transport; - Service or community bus routes; - Taxis, some accessible; - Specialised Dial-a-Ride; and - Good pedestrian infrastructure.

88 The family of services, to give choice Accessible transit Taxis, some accessible Service Routes Paratransit

89 COMMUNITIES AND LAND USE

90 Communities can be designed to be more suitable for an older population. These are also likely to be sustainable environmentally. They require:- - Mixed land use to reduce journey lengths; - Good pedestrian infrastructure for safe walking; - Good public transport; - Not car dependent.

91 UNIVERSAL DESIGN Designing and operating transport services in ways that are easy for people with disabilities to use makes them easier for everybody

92 Creating an inclusive world A pathway for all

93 Applying existing knowledge of people s requirements, universal design, trained staff and good management practices, we can make the world inclusive.
