Tallinn is relying on a network of volunteers to map over a thousand public transport stops to improve accessibility across the Estonian capital. The city is asking participants to use the Crowdsorsa mobile game app to map crosswalks and traffic lights in a bid to make stops safer for those with disabilities.
“Improving accessibility is one of Tallinn’s priorities and, to achieve this, it’s essential to gather accurate and current information about the condition of our transport stops,” said Tallinn Deputy Mayor Karl Sander Kase. “Volunteer contributions are vital in helping us reach our goal of a more accessible city for all.”
How it works
The Tallinn Accessibility Information System, created in 2020, is designed to help people with special needs better plan their daily trips. While the system currently includes information on public transport stops, the city says its data needs updating.
