Very delighted to see that some of the outcomes of our research at the University of Portsmouth on “#accessible and #inclusive #MaaS” has been implemented by the shared mobility providers in the #Solent region. Through this research, we have informed #SolentFTZ #MaaS stakeholders that how providing #vulnerable #social groups with accessible and inclusive transport servcies is crucial in the success of the project and making it accessible for ALL. For more information, please see the following publications: - #Inclusive Mobility as a Service (MaaS): key performance indicators and a conceptual framework for evaluation https://lnkd.in/eBEMPzkX - Mobility as a Service Inclusion Index (#MaaSINI): Evaluation of inclusivity in MaaS systems and policy recommendations https://lnkd.in/eSPT8Ufu Thanks to Professor Djamila Ouelhadj, Dr. Seda Sucu Sagmanli, Dr. Lee Woods and other co-authors.

Did you know that today is the Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD)? EYE am Dulce and let me tell you something! 😋 ➡️ More than One billion people worldwide have disabilities. ➡️ The purpose of GAAD is to get everyone talking, thinking and learning about digital access and inclusion, and the more than One Billion people with disabilities or impairments. ➡️ World Accessibility Awareness Day is celebrated every third Thursday in May. And why do I believe this day is important? When we talk about digital accessibility, we are not only referring to navigation and interaction but also to the access methods. Accessibility to digital technologies is crucial for me. Hiru, allows me to access as many apps as I want, communicate, play games, have fun, and much more. What is more, it ensures effective participation in society. In my case: 👆 EYE am free to choose. 💖EYE can be myself. 🗣️ More importantly, EYE can decide for myself. Throughout my life, one thing that hasn't changed is that I trust my eyes for everything I do.

We love this incredible project: The Dream Gap Project from Barbie https://lnkd.in/ertpUspE The Dream Gap for young girls still exists, but new research shows the challenges don’t lie in girls lacking self-confidence or drive — the gaps often occur in the world around them. At age 5, girls stop believing they can be presidents, scientists, astronauts, big thinkers, engineers, CEOs and the list goes on. By age 7, girls believe that boys are smarter than them. Girls are three times less likely to be given a science related toy. Help close the gap by challenging gender stereotypes and helping undo the biases that hold girls back from reaching their full potential. The SuperQuesters book series aims to help #CloseTheDreamGap. We show girls (and all children) that they can be anything they want to be – especially scientists, engineers and big thinkers.
