Today, Vienna won the 2025 Access City Award, for its outstanding efforts to making the city accessible for persons with disabilities. The initiatives to improve access to public spaces, public transport, information and communication technologies, and public services undertaken by the capital of Austria have significantly improved the lives of persons with disabilities. The city's comprehensive approach, combining social, economic, and environmental sustainability, is a standout example of how capital big cities can successfully integrate accessibility into every aspect of urban life. Vienna is the second Austrian city to win the Access City Award, after Salzburg in 2012.

Specific projects like accessible swimming pools, intelligent traffic lights, and support for housing and employment integration have significantly contributed to making Vienna more accessible and inclusive. All metro stations and over 95% of bus and tram stops are accessible, using tactile guidance systems, low-floor vehicles, and multisensory emergency systems. The Inclusive Vienna 2030 strategy, and its collaborative approach with organisations of persons with disabilities in decision-making, also demonstrates the city's strong commitment to achieving accessibility.
