accessibility

Making the network accessible to everyone means allowing everyone to travel easily under the same conditions of safety, reliability and comfort. This applies to everyone whose mobility has been reduced due to disability, age, size or situation (children, large baggage, etc.).

As the owner of train station platforms, we develop and fit these areas in order to make train access easier.
 

We now know how to choose the best technical solutions available according to:

the work to be carried out,
completion timeframes,
satisfaction for a greater number of citizens,
construction cost.
 

This policy falls under a collective approach that calls upon the public authorities, infrastructure managers and transporters. It is based on communication with passenger representatives, in particular those representing disabled passengers, to define the most suitable equipment.

Réseau Ferré de France promises transparent action and provides information for representatives and passengers on all station accessibility projects, from the date work is begun until the facilities are opened for service.
 

We combine heavy operations with less costly solutions to make as many stations as possible accessible to as many passengers as possible.

This development policy concerns access to platforms, platform waiting areas, platform-to-train paths and track crossings. It provides for both the construction and the development of facilities, as well as their upkeep, maintenance and operation.
