Our clients
Why is it important to carry out an accessibility audit?
It helps you better understand the mobility challenges of your area, for people with reduced mobility (PRM) as well as seniors, children, and all pedestrians.
As a result, it enables you to plan more relevant and inclusive improvements for everyone.
Finally, it helps better guide users through route-planning tools.
Is the diagnostic mandatory?
In many regions, accessibility data collection (roads and public transport networks) is a legal requirement for transport authorities, and local governments are often required to produce and regularly update a formal accessibility action plan.
The most effective approach is to combine these requirements into a single accessibility diagnostic project.
For which users?
For people with disabilities or reduced mobility, as well as seniors, children, and all pedestrians, who will benefit from safer and more comfortable options for getting around.
