Access For All Series
About the Series
Inclusion, universal access, and empathy are key to building mobility systems that serve all members of society. It is vital to prioritize the needs of underrepresented groups — such as women, the elderly, children, and people with disabilities — through participatory decision-making in planning and delivering mobility infrastructure. Ensuring accessibility and universal design is essential for creating inclusive cities. Persons with disabilities are often overlooked, yet their needs should be central. Accessible public spaces and transportation options make mobility usable for everyone, regardless of their ability.
ITDP’s “Access for All” series distills common messages of inclusion, equity, and access for everyone to achieve equitable sustainable urban mobility. Each paper and related resources explore how transport systems have failed to account for diverse mobility patterns. This series provides recommendations for key stakeholders from civil society, subnational authorities, donor organizations, and national governments on advancing inclusive, transit-oriented development policies.
