The declaration of accessibility applies to the following website: www.portalpasazera.pl

Website publication date: 2018-03-15
Last significant update: 2024-08-31

Status in terms of compliance with the Act

The website is partially compliant with the Act of 4 April 2019 on digital accessibility of websites and mobile applications of public entities due to incompatibilities or exclusions listed below.
  • Due to the specific nature of the presented data, keyboard operation is not possible in two locations within the website:
    • the „Trains on the map” application (maps are excluded from accessibility obligation),
    • the „Route on the map” tab in connection details (maps are excluded from the accessibility obligation).
  • Some additional functionalities on individual subpages can only be used with the mouse:
    • the „List of stations” subpage - selecting the letter of the alphabet for which the stations will be presented,
    • search results - the hour change bar allows you to search the connection again by the changed hour.
  • Due to the limitations of the software for generating files from the system, the PDF files available on the website (timetable posters) may not be fully adapted to WCAG 2.1. (A and AA).
The declaration was drawn up on: 2020-03-31
Date of last declaration review: 2024-03-11

The declaration was drawn up on the basis of a self-assessment carried out by the public entity and a study of an external entity called Spółdzielnia Socjalna Akces Lab, which on 13 March 2018 issued a certificate of accessibility of the Portal Pasażera (Passenger Portal) v. 3.0 website. See the certificate. See the certificate in text version.

Detailed information about the website

The website has been designed to be operated by the widest group of users, regardless of the technology used or user limitations.
We have made every effort to ensure that the website meets the W3C standards in the scope of:
  • HTML 5,
  • WCAG 2.1. (A and AA).
At the same time, we would like to inform you that the „Buy ticket” option available on the website takes you to external sales websites of carriers and we cannot guarantee their accessibility for disabled users.

Navigation

Website navigation is based on widely recognised and applied principles.
  • The website can be navigated using the mouse or keyboard. Due to the specific nature of the presented data, keyboard operation is not possible in two locations within the website:
    • the „Trains on the map” application,
    • the „Route on the map” tab in the connection details.
  • Some additional functionalities on individual subpages can only be used with the mouse:
    • the „List of stations” subpage - selecting the letter of the alphabet for which the stations will be presented,
    • search results - the hour change bar allows you to search the connection again by the changed hour.
  • The Tab key allows you to navigate through menu, content and footer items. The user can use „skip links” and the website navigation is facilitated by the so-called „focus” enabled for the website.
  • The website has ordered headers and described page titles.
  • The navigation may change on selected subpages. Please note that each subpage available in the menu and the first three items in the footer (Network timetable, List of stations, Connection catalogue) are treated as separate applications by the system. That is why we have introduced a „Back” button to the website’s navigation, located on some screens in the upper left corner, which allows to go back to the previous view without losing the content of previously filled out forms.
  • The website uses pop-up windows. However, they are keyboard-enabled and blind users are notified in advance.

Appearance

The website is fully responsive and equipped with mechanisms to make it easier for visually impaired people to browse the content. Website provides the following functionalities:
  • zoom in the page view and increase letter size using the following key combination: Ctrl and + key,
  • zoom out the page view and reduce letter size using the following key combination: Ctrl and - key,
  • restore the page to its original size using the following key combination: Ctrl and 0 key,
  • change the page contrast using the button in the top bar of the website.
We tried to make sure that all elements of the website have the right contrast.
The website does not include keyboard shortcuts which could conflict with assistant software or the user’s system or software.

Forms

The website has detailed descriptions and field identification for all forms. Some fields have graphical elements to help complete them. Such fields can also be completed using the keyboard:
  • In the fields defining the date or hour, found in different parts of the website, the value can be changed by selecting the currently entered text (this happens automatically when the field is activated) and then entering the new value using the keyboard, while maintaining the format specified in the field description.

PDF files

The PDF files available on the website may not be fully compliant with WCAG 2.1. (A and AA).

Architectural accessibility

PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A. Centrala, 74 Targowa Street, 03-734 Warsaw.

The building is listed in the Register of Historic Monuments and therefore the possibility of making changes to the structure of the building to increase accessibility for disabled persons using wheelchairs is limited. However, PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A. is in the process of auditing the architectural accessibility of the Head Office building and analysing the needs. Once the documentation is approved by the heritage conservator and a building permit is obtained, it will be possible to proceed with comprehensive implementation of the adopted solutions. Implementation of the adopted solutions is planned from 2023.
  1. No disabled parking spaces have been designated in the immediate vicinity of the building.
  2. Access by public transport bus: Dw. Wileński bus stops 01, 02, 04, 05 (stops accessible to the disabled), Dw. Wileński 09, 10 (stops partially accessible to the disabled).
  3. Access by tram: Dw. Wileński 03, 07, 08 (stops accessible to the disabled).
  4. Access by metro: Dworzec Wileński Metro stop.
  5. There are two entrances to the building for employees, guests and visitors accessible from ul. Targowa and ul. Wileńska. Stairs lead to both entrances. There are no ramps or platforms for wheelchairs next to the stairs.
  6. Currently, the entrances to the building are not accessible to persons with mobility impairments using wheelchairs. An external staircase (5 steps) and an internal staircase (4 steps) must be climbed before reaching the reception desk. The massive, heavy external door does not open automatically. The internal doors open automatically.
  7. The reception desks are located to the right of the entrances accessible from ul. Targowa and ul. Wileńska. Further passage is secured by gates through which a person in a wheelchair can pass.

According to the physical security procedure of the building of PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A.′s Head Office, a visitor or an interested party is not allowed to enter the building without the presence of a Company employee (an inviting employee, a representative of a given unit or a Railway Security Guard if the interested party is wishing to enter the Presidium of the Head Office).
  9. A corridor near the reception desks and access to the lifts is available for wheelchair users. From the lifts, wheelchair users have direct access to the office floors in the segments labelled A, B, D and E. Due to the misalignment between the floors of segment C and the floors of the segments labelled A, B, D and E, access to the office floors of segment C directly from the lifts is difficult due to the stairs. The corridors in segments A, B, D, E are not accessible on the ground floor of the building due to the stairs.
  10. The dimensions of the lifts enable their use by people with mobility impairments using wheelchairs.
  11. There are no toilets adapted for disabled persons in the building.
