As part of European Mobility Week, the City's Service Intégration et besoins spécifiques (Integration and Special Needs Department) and Service Autobus (Bus Department) held a Mobility for All Day on Place Guillaume II to promote mobility for people with special needs.
The City presented its public transport offering catering for people with special needs, with the aim of providing an overview of the benefits and features of the standard buses operated by the Bus Department (Service Autobus), as well as the "Call-a-bus" minibuses, which are fitted with a lifting platform. Visitors could also experience first-hand the obstacles wheelchair users face in their daily journeys, helping to raise awareness of their specific needs. Information stands and interactive workshops organised by the City's Service Intégration et besoins spécifiques and Service Autobus, together with various partners working in the field of accessibility and specific needs, rounded off the day's programme.
In organising this day, the City is seeking to highlight the challenges that people with special needs face on a daily basis, foster a better understanding of their situation among the general public, improve their daily lives, and promote social cohesion.
