Mobility

People with disabilities are dependent on reliable travel information from the organiser. It is advisable to list such information in a structured way on the event website, with relevant contact details for additional questions.

In case continuous mobility for those with disabilities cannot be guaranteed, transparent communication of the event information is essential. Possible restrictions should be openly communicated, so that visitors can suitably prepare. Where certain requirements are not met, organisational solutions such as the deployment of service staff or alternative support measures should be provided to ensure the best possible accessibility.

The usual transport connections should be checked for accessibility and made available to participants.

• Is there a bus stop in the immediate vicinity of the venue?
• Are the means of transport accessible with a wheelchair or walking frame?
• Are entry and exit aids available?
• Are there functioning lifts at the train station?
• Are audio and visual information and signposting systems in place?
• Have bus stops been suitably designed for visually impaired and blind people?
• Are there audible announcements on the transport and at the stop?

Detailed information on barrier-free travel with ÖBB is available on the website. There you will find information on barrier-free rail connections, support options and services for travelers with reduced mobility.

• Are barrier-free parking spaces available? (Enquire at registration to determine the required number)
• Is there a direct, level and wheelchair-accessible route from the car park to the entrance (without steps or thresholds)?
• Is the route from the car park to the location free of barriers (e.g. mobile signposts are placed next to the path, rather than on the path itself)?
• Are there sufficient and easily accessible lifts in the car park?
