Manifesto for an urban transport for all
Although Spain is one of the countries that most complies with accessibility recommendations, the barriers for users with reduced mobility in transportation continue to make it difficult for this important part of the population to get around on a daily basis. In this regard, it is important to recognize that there is still a long way to go and that it is necessary to increase the commitment and awareness of manufacturers and companies in the sector, something essential to achieve a sustainable transportation service in its broadest objective.
For this reason, in 2022, the "Manifesto for Urban Transportation for All People" was born. This initiative by Hidral Gobel, with the support and collaboration of the ONCE Foundation and CONFEBUS, aims to promote the transition towards universal mobility and has already gained the support of major organizations and companies.
Among the points included in the manifesto is the importance of directing efforts towards the implementation of accessibility that addresses not only the transformation of vehicles but also that of the infrastructure itself, access to information for travelers with disabilities, and the training of employees, among other aspects. This is where "We move" comes into play. Grupo Hidral, matriz de Hidral Gobel y de Acros by Hidral, A business division that provides vertical mobility systems to make places, such as transportation stations, accessible to people with reduced mobility. In this way, we partner to operate within the new paradigm of MASS (mobility as a service), which prioritizes the travel experience. Accessibility is a challenge that concerns us all, a mission whose fulfillment will have a positive impact on the economy and the well-being of the global society.
