Following the requests of the disable associations for a best transport service specific for disable. The basic public transport service is not really suitable for disable needs: the railway there isn’t and the pubic transport bus service assures only the connection among the main communities and the City of La Spezia. Because these problem, an agreement between Municipality of La Spezia and the Region of Liguria was to active the public taxi transport to assure for disable. The disable call the radio taxi service that goes to their home and the disable can pay the transport by pre-payed tickets. Providers are normally existing transport taxi system (private and public) and mostly these subprojects aim to optimise interfaces in complex transport chains. 6. Why it is considered innovative
