Under the Accessibility Implementation Plan, the Group companies have agreed to continue ensuring that passenger transport stations (railway stations and stops serving passenger services), the vehicle fleet and the range of services offered in the B2C sector are designed to be accessible. These corporate accessibility plans are in line with the National Implementation Plan (NIP) published by the BMIMI for Austria in accordance with the TSI-PRM. Stakeholder engagement plays a key role in the implementation of accessibility. Stakeholder dialogues are held at regular intervals, attended by representatives from organisations for people with disabilities and Parliament, amongst others.

The targets up to 2030 were agreed at the 12th ÖBB Safety Council meeting on 31.03.2023.

Measure Portfolio of measures to reduce signal overruns Unauthorised signal violations and any resulting train collisions pose an operational risk in rail transport and thus a safety risk to consumers and end users. A comprehensive range of measures helps to reduce this risk. These measures include, for example, the roll-out of the ETCS (European Train Control System): The European Train Control System is installed both on board trains and along the track, and will help to further improve safety levels on the rail network. ongoing Improving safety at level crossings Nationwide measures at level crossings further improve passenger safety: - Removal of level crossings: e.g. construction of overpasses or underpasses - Upgrading of unguarded level crossings to include safety barriers - Communication initiatives to raise awareness among road users ongoing
