Möjligheten att enkelt få tillgång till jobb, utbildning, sjukvård och andra faciliteter är en nyckelfaktor för social integrering. Här spelar kollektivtrafiken en viktig roll. Konferensen är en av delaktiviteterna i det europeiska året mot fattigdom och socialt utanförskap. Svensk Kollektivtrafiks Björn Sundvall deltar för att berätta om tillgängligheten i den svenska kollektivtrafiken.
