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.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABLE-BODIED PEOPLEACCESSIBILITYACCESSIBILITY IMPROVEMENTSACCESSIBLE TRANSPORT SYSTEMSADEQUATE SIGNAGEAIDAIRAIRCRAFTAIRCRAFT LAVATORIESARCHITECTURAL BARRIERSASPHALTATTITUDINAL BARRIERSBARRIERBATTERIESBLINDBRAILLEBRIDGEBRIDGESBUSBUS DRIVERSBUS ENTRANCEBUS ROUTEBUS SERVICESBUS SHELTERBUS SHELTERSBUS STATIONSBUS STOPBUS STOPSBUSESCARCAR DRIVERSCAR PARKINGCARSCHARITIESCHARITYCOGNITIVE IMPAIRMENTSCOMMUNITIESCOMPANIONCOMPANIONSCONCRETECOST OF TRAVELCROSSINGCURB RAMPSCURBSDEAFDESIGN OF VEHICLESDIGNITYDISABILITIESDISABILITYDISABILITY AWARENESSDISABILITY ISSUESDISABILITY ORGANIZATIONSDISABLEDDISABLED PEOPLEDISABLED PERSONSDRAINAGEDRIVER EDUCATIONDRIVER TRAININGDRIVERSELEVATORELEVATORSEQUALITIESEQUALITYESCALATORSEVACUATION ROUTESEXCLUSIONFARE CONCESSIONSFARE EVASIONFERRIESFIRE HYDRANTSFOOTBRIDGESFOOTPATHSFOOTWAYSFRAMEWORKFREE TRANSPORTGENDERSGENERAL AWARENESSGLAREGOVERNMENT AGENCIESGRADIENTSGREEN LIGHTGREEN LIGHT FOR PEDESTRIANSGROUND SURFACEHEADWAYHEARINGHEARING AIDHEARING IMPAIRMENTHEARING IMPAIRMENTSHEAVY PEDESTRIAN TRAFFICHEAVY RAILHEAVY RAIL SYSTEMSHEAVY VEHICLEHEAVY VEHICLE USEHIGHWAYHIGHWAY ADMINISTRATIONHIGHWAYSINCOMEINTEGRATED TRANSPORT PLANNINGINTELLECTUAL IMPAIRMENTSINTERCHANGESINTERNATIONAL TRANSPORTINTERSECTIONJOURNEYJOURNEYSKERBSLAMP POSTSLARGE PRINTLETTERINGLIGHT RAILLIMITED MOBILITYLOCAL BUS ROUTESLOCAL TRANSPORTLONG DISTANCESLOW INCOMESMAINSTREAMMANUAL DEXTERITYMASS TRANSITMETRO LINEMETRO SYSTEMMINI-BUSMINIBUSMOBILITYMOBILITY CONSTRAINTSMOBILITY DIFFICULTIESMOBILITY IMPAIRMENTSMODE OF TRANSPORTMOVEMENTNAVIGATIONPASSENGERPASSENGER INFORMATIONPASSENGER TRANSPORTPASSENGERSPAVEMENTPAVINGPEAK DEMANDPEAK HOURSPEDESTRIANPEDESTRIAN BRIDGESPEDESTRIAN CROSSINGPEDESTRIAN CROSSINGSPEDESTRIAN ENVIRONMENTPEDESTRIAN FOOTWAYSPEDESTRIAN INFRASTRUCTUREPEDESTRIAN PATHSPEDESTRIANSPEOPLE WITH DISABILITIESPERSONS WITH DISABILITIESPERSONS WITH IMPAIRMENTSPHYSICAL IMPAIRMENTSPICTOGRAMSPIERSPOTHOLESPROPERTY OWNERSPUBLIC TRANSPORTPUBLIC TRANSPORT INFORMATIONPUBLIC TRANSPORT MODESPUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICESPUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEMSPUBLIC TRANSPORT VEHICLESPUBLIC TRANSPORTATIONPUBLIC TRANSPORTATION VEHICLESQUALITY OF LIFERAILRAIL STATIONSRAILWAYRAMPRAPID TRANSITRAPID TRANSIT SYSTEMSRIGHTS OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIESROADROAD CROSSINGROAD CROSSINGSROAD SAFETYROAD SURFACEROAD TRAFFICROAD USERROADSROADWAYROUTEROUTESSAFE CROSSINGSAFETYSIDEWALK USERSSIDEWALKSSIGHTSIGN LANGUAGESIGNAGESLOW TRAFFICSOCIAL INCLUSIONSOCIAL INTEGRATIONSOCIETYSPANSPEEDSTOP SIGNSSTREET CROSSINGSSTREET FURNITURESTREETSSTRUCTURESSUBWAYSURFACINGSYMBOLSTAXI DRIVERSTAXISTERRAINTRAFFIC ENFORCEMENTTRAFFIC SIGNALTRAFFIC SIGNAL CONTROLTRAILSTRAINSTRAMSTRANSIT ACCESSTRANSIT FACILITIESTRANSIT VEHICLESTRANSPORTTRANSPORT DESIGNTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT NETWORKSTRANSPORT OPERATIONSTRANSPORT OPERATORSTRANSPORT PROFESSIONALSTRANSPORT PROJECTSTRANSPORT SERVICESTRANSPORT SYSTEMTRANSPORT SYSTEMSTRANSPORT USERSTRANSPORTATION RESEARCHTRAVELLERSTRIPTRIPSTROLLEYSTRUCKSTRUST FUNDUNDERGROUNDUNIVERSAL ACCESSUNIVERSAL DESIGNVEHICLEVEHICLE DRIVINGVEHICLE OPERATORSVEHICLE USEVIBRATIONVISUAL IMPAIRMENTVISUAL IMPAIRMENTSVISUALLY IMPAIREDVISUALLY IMPAIRED PEOPLEVISUALLY IMPAIRED PERSONWALKINGWALKING AIDSWEALTHWHEELCHAIRWHEELCHAIR USERWHEELCHAIR USERSWHEELCHAIR WHEELSWHEELCHAIRSZEBRA CROSSINGhttps://doi.org/10.1596/17592
