Poor accessibility or inaccessibility of public transport to persons with disabilities means a disadvantage as regards the opportunity to access education, employment, health services, leisure activities and impedes their general inclusion in society. The Equalisation of Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities Act (ZIMI) obliges the state that when managing public utility service, the public regular road transport of passengers (public bus transport) should be organized in such a way that providers of transport within the framework of public services use buses that are accessible to the people with reduced mobility and sensory disabilities. According to the aforementioned Act, the deadline for reasonable accommodation of buses to ensure accessibility to people with disabilities expired on 11 December 2020.In the context of the preparation of this Special Report in order to review the current situation of accessibility of public bus transport for people with reduced mobility, the Advocate of the Principle of Equality (the Advocate) collected information on why public bus transport is not accessible to people with reduced mobility as required by applicable legislation.Information received by the Advocate from the competent ministry and sectoral non-governmental organisations shows that, despite the legal obligation, public bus transport is not accessible to people with reduced mobility. The purpose of this Special Report is to draw attention to the importance of designing, adopting and consistent implementation of regulations that prevent discriminatory treatment of people with disabilities and to accelerate the implementation of measures enabling them to exercise their right to equal accessibility of public road transportTEXTknjigebooksSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of Slovenia
