Accessible transportation in Japan - statistics & facts
Barrier-free transportation is essential to come closer to a fair society that provides everyone with equal access to mobility. It benefits various individuals, including people with physical impairments, but also the elderly, pregnant women, and parents with young children. Making public infrastructure accessible to all has been on the agenda of the Japanese government, which has presented clear directives, requesting the industry to cooperate, to approach this goal. The transportation industry, and the companies involved in it, is one of the most important segments that need to undergo a change to achieve a barrier-free society.
