Transit accessibility

The degree to which public transportation systems — including buses, trains, subways, and associated infrastructure like stops, stations, and information systems — are usable by people with disabilities. Transit accessibility encompasses vehicle design (ramps, priority seating, audio announcements), infrastructure (level boarding, tactile paving, shelter), information systems (real-time audio, accessible apps, signage), and the pedestrian environment connecting riders to stops. True transit accessibility requires an end-to-end approach covering the entire journey, not just the ride itself.
