Africa Railway Webinar : Catering for PRMs in the Rail Ecosystem : Issues and Challenges

Register now !

Join us for a discussion dedicated to Passengers with Reduced Mobility.

Objectives of the webinar :
The webinar will focus on sharing best practices between railway networks, identifying initiatives at both national and transnational levels, and exploring potential solutions to accessibility challenges.
While the shared goal is to enable autonomous travel for all passengers, including those with disabilities, achieving this requires substantial infrastructure improvements. Progress is underway, but in the meantime, enhancing the travel experience depends on the ongoing development of assistance services and overall customer experience.
Experts will share their insights on these topics.
