OVERVIEW ON ACCESSIBILITY POLICY
1995 -2005
From local initiatives to compulsory tasks
 During the past 15 year or so STIF has been
more and more comited to facilitate mobility needs
of people with reduced mobility
 STIF ’s actions ranged from investment
planning, to funding implementations along with Région Ile de France
(regional council) to consultation with
focus groups.
 In fact 3 periods of time can be distinguished :
- from mid 90 ’ to the year 2000 actions on a voluntary
basis (very little pattern)
- 2000-2005 the first achievements prove to be encouraging and
a need for planning rises
- Since February 2005 the law “on Equal rights & opportunities,
participation & citizenship of disabled people » is adopted
the road map is precise and mandatory, full accessibility
is at stake within 2015
1995- 2000
Initiatives are encouraged
Through the years 1995-2000 awareness of accessibility issues in
Public Transport is rising, hence :

All actors are willing to play a role : operators work on blueprints
for projects, association representatives collaborate in finding best
solutions, PTA (STIF) acts as the liaison and participate in the funding
along with Région Ile de France (on a fifty-fifty basis covering the
whole cost)

Little by little the administrative and financial process is taking
place,
- recomandation guide lines are issued by STIF & Région IdF,
- first accessible bus lines are achieved in 1998, the number is rapidly
growing (6 lines in 2000, 16 lines in 2002,) due to the stimulation of
municipalities by bus operator.
- around 20% of train stations are accessible either because there are
equipped or because platforms are street level, the new subway line (L14) is
fully accessible.
1995- 2000 ….
But in spite of the good will :


Emphasis has been put on motorly impaired people as as opposed to
other handicaps
Implementation of technical solutions are not always consistent :
-
bus platforms are worked on but not all busses doing the service on the line
have ramps not to speak about the way to the bus stop still poorly designed
train stations are equipped with lifts but boarding he train remains difficult
not to say impossible ...
 - initiative remain by and large in the hands of operators or
municipalities (responsible for road and curb work), STIF stands in the role of
providing the funds along with Région IdF

Mobility needs of people with reduced mobility
makes its way in the agenda
The year 2000 sees more concrete implementations

A network of accessible bus lines emerges (29 lines and 18 000 wheelchair
users in 2004 in Paris and close suburbs RATP network. More train stations are
planned on a regular basis to be equipped with lifts

Due to a law on solidarity and urban planning (Dec 2000) which results

As a result, accessibility policy relies on 3 pillars:
in a new board of direction gathering politicians from the Region & the
Départements (8 counties), STIF puts accessibility high on the agenda and Région
IdF backs up with a greater budget.
- Planning
- consistency of actions
- democracy encouraged at the local level with on going consultation with the
disabled population
2000-2005
Mobility needs of people with reduced mobility
makes its way up in the agenda

As of planning accessibility actions, it unfolded into :
- a “Reference Railway Network” selected 256/415 stations as a priority with
emphasis on RER A, B, E (busiest lines)
- the Urban Mobility plan highlighting a trunk network of bus lines with high
quality of service including accessibility and upraising the same quality of service
of 150 major interchanges

Consistency is to be achieved thru :
- close integration of both planning
- interaction of modes within interchanges is scrutinized in terms of accessibility to
PRMs and public funding is depending on completion of accessibility improvements
- studies and blueprints are viewed with a larger perspective, various forms of
handicaps at a time, a holistic approach ( tackling platform+vehicule and so on ..)
- all stakeholders are part of any project (operators, disabled users, municipalities
or local governments, PTA and Region )
2000-2005

Finally new complementary services are designed to enlarge the
user’s experience, mainly :
- Infomobi : information call center dedicated to PRM’s (2003)
- Reorganization of door to door services : 1 call center per Département acting as
dispatcher and operator (PAM in Paris 2003, FILIVAL in Val de Marne 2005) with
high quality of service and close interaction with the client.

Ongoing consultation to enhance democratic process
The local representatives of the disabled are consulted at all stages of the projects
from assessment to solution and design of equipment
So far so good ?…. Well, not so
SINCE 2005
A major change in the legal environment due to 2 laws
coming into force

“Loi de décentralisation” gives a new status to STIF : state government is
retrieving and local governments are taking over (Region an Départements) STIF
inherits new missions among which school services (including the one for disabled
students), and demand responsive services

The law on Equal rights & opportunities, participation & citizenship of
disabled people » is adopted after a first general law passed in 1975 and never
fully put into force. The goal is to accelerate at any rate the path towards
accessibility of PT in France .
- full accessibility is at stake within 2015,
- the road map is precise and mandatory.
SINCE 2005…
The new legal environment enhances STIF responsibilities
towards PRMs and gives a framewok for action
 New missions include funding of school services - notably for around
5000 disabled students attending elementary and secondary schools and
150 disabled students attending university- and organization of demand
responsive services
 More specifically the law on Equal rights makes it compulsory to
fulfill the disabled people Right for Transport,
The framework is:
 Enlarged vision of disability including all people with reduced mobility (
of course elderly people are taken into account)
 Holistic approach of the chain of transport (every stages of the journey
must be accessible)
 Every mode of transport and all the services should fulfill accessibility
requirements, new vehicles must be accessible
 The role of association of disabled representatives is once more
emphasized. Not only is the consultation encouraged but it is made
mandatory in some cases through ad hoc commissions for accessibility
and security matters at local level
A major change in the legal environment ….
 The road map is explicit:
 The Ile de France PT network must comply with accessibility within 10
years
 A master plan of accessibility is to be drawn within 3 years under
PTA responsibility (covering the entire network mode after mode and all
services included (information etc …)
 In case of impossibility agreed upon by the ad hoc commissions
gathering disabled people, it is the responsibility of STIF to organize and
finance substitute services for any person with reduced mobility the cost
for the user is the same as for PT network
 A specific public body will be in charge of complaints about the
restraints to the Right of transport
 Any public funding in PT is depending on compliance with
accessibility
As a conclusion

Accessibilty to PRMs is a now a priority on STIF’s agenda

STIF gets full responsibility for complying with the law, its missions are
enlarged it becomes the leader in planning the actions and funding

Consistency and efficiency of the various services to PRM’s and integration
within PT network are a real challenge
