Since 2010, the European Commission organises the Access City Award, in collaboration with the European Disability Forum, to reward EU cities that have prioritised accessibility for persons with disabilities.
Accessibility improves the quality of life of everyone, but it is indispensable for more than 100 million EU citizens with disabilities to have equal access to fundamental rights and to all the cities have to offer.
A city is accessible when persons with disabilities can, for instance:
get information (online and offline).
use transport (e.g., buses, trams, metros) and its related infrastructure.
enjoy public spaces, like parks and playgrounds.
Get in and around buildings like the city hall, library and sports hall, and access to their services.
