– Svitlana Hnatiuk, Accessibility Expert at the Barrier-Free NGO;
– Polad Khalilov, Project Manager of the Ukrzaliznytsia's Barrier-Free Railway Program.

All in person.

Key topics:
– Accessibility Map statistics from Monitoring-2025: national leaders in the field and plans for the next phase;
– What sets the map-based monitoring apart, and the new opportunities it creates for government officials and everyday users;
– How communities, businesses, and civil society groups can apply the findings to inform decision-making

Why is this important?
More than 70,000 sites have been added to the interactive Accessibility Map following a nationwide assessment of community infrastructure. The monitoring effort, initiated by the Ministry for Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine, ran from June 1 to August 31. For the first time, the results can be explored in detail and in real time thanks to the project's technology partner, LUN.

The collected data is now being reviewed to pinpoint systemic barriers, identify accessibility gaps, and set priorities for upcoming improvements.

This approach enables communities, government agencies, and businesses to plan infrastructure upgrades more precisely, allocate resources more efficiently, and improve the quality of public spaces for all users.
