To limit the negative impacts of road works in and around Utrecht and to further stimulate the use of public transport, the City of Utrecht formed a unique public/private entity called ‘Platform Utrecht Bereikbaar’. Under the brand ‘Utrecht Accessible’, partners worked to keep Utrecht accessible during public works. Features included the free ‘Utrecht Accessible Pass’, a public transport pass given to employees offering access to regional public transport, public bicycles for business and private use, some trains and Park & Ride services. What was supposed to be a two to three year project, is now in its fifth year.
