Beijing to boost accessibility for disabled people

Beijing aims to become more accessible for seniors and the disabled.

The move is part of the city's three-year action plan to help people with disabilities to live and work better in the city, according to Guo Xusheng, a senior official at the Beijing Disabled Persons' Federation.

The plan launched by the Beijing Municipal Government covers 17 projects, including the overhaul of roads and public transport, as the capital prepares for the 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games.
