SFS 7 Moving everyone forward: Accessibity-driven transport solutions

29 April 2026

Strategic Future Session, Multimodal mobility system management

Strategic Future Session • SFS 7 • 14:00 > 15:00 • SFS 7 Moving everyone forward: Accessibity-driven transport solutions • MAÇKA Strategic Future Session
Did you know that over 100 million people across Europe live with a disability, and nearly one in five citizens is already aged 65 or older?
These figures are set to rise sharply, yet accessibility is still far from the norm in mobility systems. This session, "Moving Everyone Forward," explores how transport becomes truly inclusive when accessibility is treated as a fundamental design principle rather than a compliance checkbox. We will demonstrate that inclusion is not only a shared European value and a social necessity, but also a massive business opportunity—failing to prioritize accessibility means missing out on one-fifth of the total market. Our gender-balanced panel will share TEDx-style stories on innovations in AI and data-driven planning that make inclusive Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) financially sound and operationally scalable. Join us to see how human-centered innovation can make Europe’s transport networks responsive to every traveler.
