Accessible mobility: greater equality of opportunity
In Île-de-France, 4 out of 10 Ile-de-France residents have a disability, temporarily or permanently.
Offering everyone simplified access to transport means reducing the social divide and reducing inequalities in access to autonomy, work, social life, studies and new opportunities.

Accessibility figures in Île-de-France
Since 2005, Île-de-France Mobilités has been investing in a major policy to transform its network, a policy carried out, hand in hand, with associations, operators, local authorities and the Île-de-France Region.
The goal? To improve comfort and bring more independence to people with disabilities in public transport.

Accessibility and its many faces
When we talk about accessibility in transport, we are also talking about invisible disabilities and situations that complicate access or use of the network on a daily basis:
- Pregnant women,
- Adults with small children or a stroller,
- Travelers with luggage,
- Elderly, sick or convalescent people,
- People with reduced mobility and in wheelchairs,
- People with sensory, mental and motor disabilities.
