Media Release March 22, 2011: IRU and EDF publish recommendations to taxi drivers to improve accessibility to people with disabilities and reduced mobility.
The International Road Transport Union (IRU) and the European Disability Forum (EDF) have joined forces to develop and disseminate an accesibility checklist with recommendations, to help taxi drivers improve the quality of the services they provide to customers with disabilities and reduced mobility.
Stig Langvad, EDF executive member and the chairman of the EDF transport expert group, welcomes the fruitful collaboration with IRU: "Awareness-raising of transport personnel is an important means for improving the travel possibilities for persons with disabilities, and it is also the most cost-efficient way of doing so", he says.
