Question 13509 — people with disabilities

Summary

Ms. Catherine Jaouen draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Minister of Solidarity and Families, responsible for disabled people, to the provision of financial compensation by the operators of transport networks and equipment in cases where the latter do not meet the accessibility criteria for disabled people or people with reduced mobility. The deputy recalls that law n° 2005-102 of 11 February 2005 for equal rights and opportunities, participation and citizenship of people with disabilities, in particular its article 45, provides that financial compensation must be granted. It indicates that by letter dated July 10, 2023, the president of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Region specified that since January 9, 2023, when an eligible person (person with a disability holding a card mobility inclusion or a disability card and residing or staying in the South region) resides less than 5 km from a non-accessible station, she can be driven from her home to the first accessible station in the direction of the journey she wishes to make. She underlines that in this same letter, the president of the region specifies that in the second half of 2023, transport by taxi will also be possible from the station which is not accessible if the person with a disability lives more than 5 km from this station to the first station accessible under the same conditions. These advances, at the local level, were obtained because individuals with disabilities found themselves confronted with the non-application of laws, in particular Law No. 2005-102, by operators of transport networks and equipment. The law is therefore not applied, or does not appear to be in the same way throughout the national territory. The MP questions the Minister so that she can tell her whether the system initiated by the regional council of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur could be assimilated to the provisions of Article 45 cited above and if, if so, she plans to make this compensation obligatory and applicable throughout France.
