📋 Tender Overview
17.09.2025 European Mobility Week: the railway is increasingly available to each stairs, Braille boards and digital information in real time - these are only part of the solutions that make the railway more accessible. This years European Mobility Week takes place under the slogan Mobility for everyone and Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A. They show how they implement these assumptions in practice, facilitating the journey to all passengers. The establishment of the European Mobility Week this year focus primarily on availability, universality, security and sustainable development of transport. One of the most important points is the lack of architectural barriers, with particular emphasis on the needs of people with disabilities. In PLK S.A. Availability is treated as a priority already at the investment design stage - but what exactly does it mean in practice - priceless support for travelers of stations and passenger stops Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A. They use a number of amenities that make it easier to move passengers. One of them is the touch marking system for blind and visually impaired people. Touch paths designed in accordance with architectural guidelines for IPI-1 passenger infrastructure lead travelers in a simple and legible way to key places at the station. In addition to the function conducting touch marking - in the form of attention fields and warning belts - it has an alarming function, which increases the level of safety of travelers. In addition, plates with information in Brailles alphabet are mounted on the handrails and ramps, thanks to which blind or visually impaired people can easily orientate in the environment and confirm the direction of the road. On the other hand, there are typhlographic maps with the station system diagram on large agglomeration facilities, also in the Braille alphabet. When, for technical or spatial reasons, they are not able to build them, vertical communication devices are used - these older types, e.g. statifying platforms, which are gradually replaced with modern, maintenance -free passenger lifts, according to EU regulations (equipped with, among others, elevators with a video monitoring and a system of direct communication with the technical service). Information for passenger Lines S.A. They also develop digital availability, offering tools for traveling and informing about it in real time, so as to support all users of rail transport and avoid digital exclusion. At stations and passenger stops there are boards with clear information for travelers with available facilities and services. In places where they make a decision about the further route, boards indicating possible directions are installed. Currently, on the parts and stops there are edge displays that present information about trains departing, arriving or ending on a specific track. Multifunctional displays are also used at some stations - with data with the closest departures and arrival of trains, as well as with a poster timetable. The consistency and validity of information are provided by the central system of dynamic passenger information (CSDiP), which collects data on planned and actual hours of arrival and departure, and then provides them on displays passenger information carriers. The system allows you to unify the way information at various stations and stops. The passenger portal is available digital support - available on the website of portalpasazera.pl and in the mobile application, in three language versions: Polish, English and Ukrainian. The portal allows you to search for connections, check the timetable, browse the current messages of the infrastructure and carriers manager, as well as access to information on facilities and assistance for people with disabilities and limited mobility. The portal meets the statutory requirements in the field of digital availability and WCAG certificate, which allows it to be used in a friendly way for all users. Cooperation with the local community of Kolejowe S.A. They actively cooperate with local governments, implementing projects responding to the needs of residents. An example is the citizens transition to Olszynka , reported by the inhabitants of Warsaw districts of Praga-Poludnie and Rembertow. Thanks to this cooperation, a safe passage was created with traffic lights and tolls - on the railway line No. 7 at ul. Podolska in Grochow and on line No. 506 in the area of ul. Podhalanska at the Przygoda estate. The new infrastructure, opened on July 5, 2024, not only facilitates access to the Olszynka Grochowska reserve, but also eliminates the so -called Black point - a place particularly dangerous for PIESzych.kolej+ until 2029 - a joint investment in the future of the Railway+ region program responds to the needs of local communities, which for years remained beyond the reach of the railway. Together with local governments, Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A. They implement projects covering the revitalization of existing lines, reconstruction and expansion of routes, as well as the construction of new connections and the development of project documentation for future investments. Thanks to Railway+ more people will gain access to the most ecological means of public transport, and the regions will improve connections with larger centers. The program supports the development of local infrastructure, increases travel comfort and contributes to the increase in the attractiveness of many parts of the country, eliminating communication exclusion.
