Sitios - Information on the accessibility of locations

Not all places are accessible to people with disabilities. In order to be able to independently plan a trip, a doctor's visit or a meal with friends, people with various disabilities need information about the accessibility of buildings. Sitios makes it easy to collect, publish and use this information in various applications.

The gintoApp - find accessible places easily.

Get the free Ginto app from Sitios and off you go. Find accessible places in your immediate vicinity or use them to plan your trip from the comfort of your own home. Thanks to your personal needs profile, the app shows you what is accessible to you and where obstacles await you.

Defective elevators: making information publicly available

At the GovTech Hackathon 2023, Florian Bürgi, wheelchair user and computer scientist, addressed a problem that he is very familiar with as a regular public transport user: defective elevators. He explains what opportunities the technology offers to make lift data accessible to everyone and thus make travel easier for people with reduced mobility.
