Increase the quality and the accessibility of on-site and in-person interaction with your service
- The service location -and the route to get to it- should be accessible for different vulnerable user groups (e.g. visual, mobility, auditory impairment, accessible with children and large baggage, pets, etc.).
- The service access point should be customizable when possible (e.g. boarding spot/area for ride sharing services).
- Ride-sharing services should generate meeting points or use existing bus stops to pick up users.
- Offer direct contact whenever possible and also provide the possibility of contacting driver/rider before use to allow arranging details.
- The driver/rider should speak slowly and in a clear way and offering support to comprehension.
- Drivers/riders and service providers should be trained about inclusivity and the importance of a friendly, empathic approach.
- Assign the same personnel for the same user or area if possible to ensure fidelization.
- Drivers/riders should be capable of communicating in the local language, communication in English is an added benefit.
- Drivers/ Riders should offer support when necessary (for example, when passenger has a child).
- Food and product delivery services should use an uniform packaging (e.g., main dish in squared package, side-dish in a round package) to help people with reduced vision recognize what product they are receiving/handling.
