Abstract: This research project aims at highlighting the social, administrative and technical mechanisms which impact, in a positive or negative manner, on the accessibility transport policy of Lyon and Stuttgart. The level of accessibility of both transport networks is first presented. Each type of transport is set out. The studied measures deal with both people with reduced mobility and people with disabilities. The second section of this report is about the national accessibility policies. We want to scrutinize if policies of local government's Lyon and Stuttgart implement national policies or not. Policy objectives, recipients, instruments and policy monitoring receive particular attention. A close examination shows of Lyon and Stuttgart studies that transport accessibility policy is a public problem which is under pressure of various constraints and stakes. There no doubt that the structure of the Civil Society and the way how it expresses its claims play a decisive role in the local policy elaboration process. However, this local policy is also impacted by past technical and political choices. Moreover this research study discloses that the legitimacy of the legal instrument is strongly dependant on the technical credibility of its orders. The specialized transport service is another component of the local policy: its performance, its tariffs and its eligibility conditions are levers for transport authorities to orient the behaviour of people with disabilities. Lastly local accessibility policies are under the influence of various factors, cultural and others. A study of chosen technology for bus ramp and tactile walking surface proves this assertion.
