Event Details

Persons with disabilities in society often experience barriers in accessing socio-economic opportunities partly due to lack of access to safe, efficient and convenient transport systems. To ensure that the upcoming Bus Rapid Transit System (BRT) responds to this challenge, Flone Initiative has developed a publication on "Inclusive and Accessible Public Transport Services for Persons with Disabilities", which provides recommendations on a Disability-Inclusive BRT System.
