This document aims to provide practical
guidance on how best to include consideration of
accessibility for People with Limited Mobility (PLM). While
disabled people are a primary focus, the definition of PLM
considered within this guidance note therefore also
encompasses this broader range of users with mobility
constraints and needs. Barriers to addressing the needs of
PLM are often a product of a lack of information for
transport professionals and facility designers, combined
with limited resources. To assist client countries with
implementing the principles and binding obligations of the
United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with
Disabilities (UNCRPD), it is clear that World Bank Task Team
Leaders (TTLs) need to understand how to build in
accessibility for disabled people in the design and
implementation of transport projects. This guidance note
therefore aims to aid World Bank TTLs when specifying and
managing Bank funded transport projects in order to improve
the accessibility of transport systems for PLM. It is
intended to serve primarily as a point of reference for TTLs
on how to include, and improve; the accessibility of PLM in
Bank supported transport operations, as well as being useful
for other organizations and government agencies. Following
this introductory chapter, chapter two provides concise
technical descriptions of different transport accessibility
measures, of their costs, benefits and implementation
issues, and of relevant standards and sources of further
detailed design guidance. In chapter three these
accessibility features are gathered into ranked lists to
which TTLs may refer in order to see which measures
represent low cost options, and those which are likely to
have the best benefit/cost relationships. Chapter four sets
out information on relevant regulatory and institutional
framework issues. Chapter five summarizes potential funding
sources and mechanisms for providing accessibility
improvements for people with limited mobility. Finally,
chapter six (operational road map) provides guidance on the
process for designing accessibility into World Bank
transport projects. |
