WIA transport: Adapted transport for the disabled

Mobility and independent travel are a stumbling block for many people to get from A to B. To enable as many people as possible to perform paid work and/or follow a training course, there is WIA transport.

Within WIA transport, a distinction is made between two types of transport: WIA work transport and WIA education transport. This adapted transport is intended for employees and students with a disability, so that they are enabled to perform paid work.

WIA work transport

WIA work transport is intended for employees who cannot travel to work independently due to a disability. The costs for this transport are paid from the premiums that employers pay to the Disability Fund. The UWV is responsible for implementing WIA work transport.

WIA education transport

Disabled students in secondary vocational, higher and academic education can use WIA education transport. The costs for this are borne by the Wajong fund, which is funded by SZW. The UWV is also responsible for the implementation of WIA education transport.

Benefits of WIA transport

Employees and students with a disability or limitation are thus enabled to actively participate in society.

  • They can follow a training course and/or perform paid work
  • It is easier to establish or maintain social contacts at work or at school.
  • They can continue to develop professionally.

Conclusion

WIA transport is of great importance for disabled employees and students, so that they can travel to work or school in an adapted way. The implementation of this transport is the responsibility of the UWV, while the financing differs for WIA work transport and WIA education transport.

Adapted transport offers advantages for the disabled persons themselves, but also for society as a whole.
