RPA’s approach to accessibility is based on “Access for All”. Whilst focused on people with mobility and sensory impairments this design approach works for everyone.
Luas is a state-of-the-art tram system providing accessible public transport in Dublin. Luas is compliant with current accessibility and environmental standards for transport systems. Well thought out surfacing, furniture, stop facilities, large visible signage, audio announcements and destination displays all serve to make the system easier to navigate.
Full wheelchair access is provided ensuring there are no steps so buggies and people with luggage can also access Luas easily. RPA and Luas operating company, Veolia Transport Ireland have established procedures and implemented staff training and awareness initiatives, which further enhance the accessibility of the system.
As with Luas it is planned that all future Luas and Metro lines under construction and development by RPA will be fully accessible.
