The problem of disability affects more and more people every year. One of the obstacles to their proper functioning are everyday problems connected with mobility. The aim of this article is to find out the opinion of disabled people living in Northern Wielkopolska on the quality of infrastructure, its adaptation and accessibility for the disabled as well as to present improvements which would enable disabled people to use public transport services safely, freely and comfortably. On the basis of the survey, it may be concluded that the basic problem of road infrastructure from the point of view of people with disabilities is the low quality of access to stops, roads, pavements and high kerbs, poor adaptation of public space or very wide transport and lack of reconstruction of some places and road fragments. Added to this is the average quality of adaptation of public transport for people with disabilities.
