As stated, a two-year programme for the adaptation of public transport in Tashkent, including the metro, to the needs of persons with disabilities will be implemented.

This year the goal is to train at least 500 designers and architects to create a barrier-free environment for the disabled with the involvement of foreign specialists.

A two-year program will be implemented to make public transportation, including the metro, stops, and stations in the capital, accessible to people with disabilities. Hokims and governors were instructed to implement this approach in the regions as well.
