Public transport for all? Exploring the intersection of communication access and universal design in public transport

Carbon emissions continue to rise in the transport sector. It is widely accepted that technological solutions will not be sufficient to reverse this tendency but need to be complemented by behaviour change towards more environmentally sustainable mobility, not least public transport. It is also widely accepted that public transport must be accessible in both objective and subjective terms to promote such behaviour change. Accordingly, this project explores how we can make public transport more accessible to all people, including people with various disabilities, thus leaving no one behind in the green transition. Particularly, the project explores if and how we can increase accessibility for all in public transport through an integrated focus on both inclusive communication and universal design.
