Virtual Public Transport : Impact on Municipalities, Provinces and Government
Virtual Public Transport is a groundbreaking solution for neurodivergent individuals, such as those with autism or mild intellectual disabilities, but it works equally well for anyone who wants to learn to travel independently on public transport. In a realistic VR environment, participants learn to travel safely and independently, which contributes to self-reliance, inclusion, and cost savings. Thanks to its easy implementation and scalability, Virtual Public Transport can be quickly and widely deployed in schools, healthcare institutions, and municipalities.
Why Virtual Public Transport for Governments?
- Promotes Self-Reliance and Participation : Virtual public transport offers participants a safe learning environment to practice travel skills. This increases their self-confidence and helps them overcome obstacles.
- Complies with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities : With Virtual Public Transport, your organization implements measure 6 of the "Accessible Public Transport" module of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Work Agenda. This measure focuses on promoting independent travel through training courses, in which Virtual Public Transport offers an innovative and scalable VR solution. This way, you make a tangible contribution to accessible mobility and the social inclusion of people with disabilities.
- Combating Mobility Poverty : By teaching your residents essential travel skills, Virtual Public Transport contributes to measures against mobility poverty.
- Saves Costs on Student and Target Group Transportation : Less reliance on special transportation leads to significant long-term savings.
- Scalable and easy to implement: Virtual OV is designed for easy rollout across various organizations. Thanks to its plug-and-play installation and flexible deployment options, the platform can be quickly scaled to multiple locations and target groups.
