TRIPS final project newsletter

In January 2023, the three-year “TRansport Innovation for Persons with disabilities needs Satisfaction” (TRIPS) project concluded.

We are particularly proud of the great work that our working groups accomplished on-the-ground in Bologna (IT), Brussels (BE), Cagliari (IT), Lisbon (PT), Sofia (BG), Stockholm (SE), and Zagreb (HR). They were key to developing new solutions to remove barriers in urban public transport and share their experience on the TRIPS website: https://trips-project.eu/about-the-project/.

Some results include:

• The MDI app – an app developed to implement the Mobility Divide Index – was field-tested, and allows stakeholders to evaluate public transport services from the point of view of people with disabilities.
• The concept for a European Accessibility Observatory was developed and outlined in a White Paper.
• The Lecco Declaration is open for signatures, and outlines key principles that organisations can build upon to implement accessibility, and to foster an understanding of how to shape future public transport models to be increasingly inclusive and accessible.
