The European Commission proposed on September 6, 2023, an improved European Parking Card and a standardised European Disability Card that would be accepted in all EU member states. This initiative aims to facilitate easier travel for persons with disabilities within the EU by ensuring they receive the same special conditions, preferential treatments, and parking rights as those with recognized disability status in any member state. By building on the existing EU Disability Card pilot project and the European Parking Card, this proposal seeks to promote inclusivity and equal access, making it crucial for enhancing mobility and quality of life for persons with disabilities.
