From the very beginning, the Federation’s accessibility experts and rehabilitational environmental engineers have been involved in the reconstruction of the infrastructure of metro line M3 and contributed to the concept of the line reconstruction, via accesability planning of the stations, materials and surface samples used for tactile pavement, as well as on-the-spot checks.
