Pictureda blind man beingassisted to board aminibus in Cairo, Egypt.Credit: TUMI. Universal accessibility is the act of designing products, services, and, in this case,transportation systems so they accommodate all users, including those withdisabilities, without the need for special accommodation or adaptation.Urban transportation systems around the world have a long way to go in terms ofaccessibility adaptation and mainstreaming. Given the global need for greateraccessibility, the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP) and theTransformative Urban Mobility Initiative (TUMI) assembled a community of practicethat brought together advocates, decision-makers, and researchers around theworld in a series of panels and workshops where they exchanged ideas and identifiedchallenges and solutions in planning and adapting for accessibility.This community of practice found that alack of inter-sectoral collaboration,cultural and systemic biases, and fundingwere some of the biggest challenges increating cohesive and inclusive transportation systems. This disconnection betweensystems and limited coordination among government agencies and stakeholders,misconceptions of what universal accesibility is, and a lack of dedicated funding, end upbenefit only a small segment of the population.Solutions to these challenges were identified as training and awareness-raisingfor decision-makers, data-driven accessibility masterplans, including people withdisabilities (PwD) in the planning process and in the transport sector, and greatercommunication between accessibility stakeholders.By increasing communication between stakeholders in the transportation accessibilitylandscape, this initiative aimed to address barriers to collaboration, leading to moreaccessible cities and better lives. 2Introduction Universally accessibletransport breaksbarriers to reachopportunities, servicesand social networks.Key features like levelboarding helps peoplewith disabilities enterthe transport vehicleswith ease such as herein Mexico City’s publictransport.

Universal accessibility is often thought of as a collection of physical adaptations,such as curb ramps and elevators to enable those in wheelchairs to get around, ortactile flooring in train stations to help people with low to no vision navigate. Butit is more than just that. It includes public transport service that is frequent so thatvehicles are not overcrowded, auditory messages about the s
