"The OTA is the way to express the interest of this City Council to work in the service of a substantial improvement of accessibility conditions by eliminating architectural barriers, both in buildings and in urban planning or transportation, to adapt them to the use and enjoy all people with some type of disability or functional diversity "adds Meca, an initiative that will facilitate the lives of many of its inhabitants and that is one more step in achieving equal opportunities for all people.
