The Ola Mobility Institute (OMI) has partnered with nine pro-disability organizations to understand urban transport accessibility challenges. This study focuses on the experiences of Persons living with locomotor and visual disabilities along with the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community. The modes of transport covered include metro/local trains, buses, auto-rickshaws, taxis and auto-rickshaws & cabs attached with technology enabled platforms i.e. mobility aggregators. This upcoming report by OMI captures observations and insights on the travel experience of PWDs shared through semi-structured interviews with 20+ men and women living with a disability. These findings have been supplemented by Focus Group Discussions with 11 men and women with disabilities to capture the actual and/or anticipated impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the travel experiences of PwDs across the various modes of transport.
