When tasked with enhancing urban transportation, it's key to focus on inclusivity. To ensure accessibility for all:
- Engage with community members, including those with disabilities, to identify barriers in current systems.
- Implement tactile paving and audible signals at crossings and transit stations for the visually impaired.
- Ensure that all vehicles and stations are wheelchair-friendly with ramps and adequate space.

In my experience, to ensure inclusive urban transportation, innovative strategies are key. Solutions include tactile paving and audible signals for the visually impaired, while wheelchair-accessible vehicles and account-based systems aid those with mobility or financial barriers. Engaging local communities in co-designing transit, like in EU projects TRIPS and Cities-4-People, enhances inclusivity. Policies combining tech and equity frameworks, such as the Mobility Equity Framework, ensure no group is left behind.

Creating accessible transportation for everyone requires a comprehensive improvement of all modes of transport. This involves tackling various challenges to ensure smooth movement for all users. Additionally, it is crucial to consider all weather conditions when designing and operating transport systems. Implementing a network that includes trams, buses, and other connecting modes will enhance overall accessibility and convenience for people with physical challenges and the elderly.
