Inclusive environment

Russian Railways is steadily working to increase accessibility of our social infrastructure facilities and related services for the disabled and other reduced mobility groups. So far, 33 pilot facilities have become partially or fully accessible to certain categories of reduced mobility groups. Additionally, 76 employees completed the professional development programme for managers and professionals in accessibility for the disabled and other reduced mobility groups regarding social infrastructure facilities and related services.

To support families of railway employees raising disabled children, we launched a social project, Russian Railways: A Step Forward, which offers specialised group stays at Russian Railways’ recreational facilities, and inclusive family celebrations at social infrastructure facilities.

In 2024, we hosted various Russian Railways: A Step Forward events at 13 sites across 10 railways, with 377 families (930 attendees) participating.
