The overall objective of Mediate, Methodology for Describing the Accessibility of Transport in Europe, is to contribute to the development of inclusive urban transport systems with better access for all citizens. This paper describes the process of developing indicators for accessibility to public transport in Europe. The Mediate project has been carried out with the active participation of different stakeholders including organisations of people with disabilities, end users, local authorities, public transport operators, industry and experts. The stakeholders have complemented the consortium partners with their expertise, contributed to the development process, and ensured a broader dissemination of the results. Furthermore Mediate has developed a Self Assessment Tool for measuring accessibility and a Good Practice Guide providing examples on accessible public transport. Mediate is a project within the 7th European Commission Framework Program, Theme Transport.
