Transport accessibility affects a significant part of the population today, and many affected people (with disabilities or learning difficulties or temporary restrictions, elderly, etc.) are excluded from mobility. Seamless accessibility in the transportation sector in Europe is promoted by the European Commission, through legislation that is being set-up. The status of legislation and deployment issues among EU Member States is presented and discussed herein and a clustering of countries is proposed. Also, positive efforts towards accessible transportation in various countries are shown, in the form of best practices. The chapter ends with proposals for measures and recommendations, as well as next steps towards the adoption of a holistic accessibility system in the European transport system.
