However, big differences in local standards of designing public space and transport infrastructure are visible. Furthermore, particular cities chose different strategies to improve accessibility of public transport. This paper presents a perspective on contemporary transport policy of the European Union applying to passengers with reduced mobility. Additionally, a proposal of program consisting of 4 integrated actions, is formulated. Framework of the paper is the universal design concept, described for the first time by The Center for Universal Design at North Carolina State University.
