ÖBB-Personenverkehr AG strives to make its websites accessible in accordance with the Web Accessibility Act (WZG) as amended, implementing Directive (EU) 2016/2102 on the accessibility of websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies.

This accessibility statement applies to the website https://personenverkehr.oebb.at.

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with Level AA of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 and the European Standard EN 301 549 V3.2.1 due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.

Non-accessible content

The following content is not (fully) accessible for the following reasons:

Non-compliance with the accessibility requirements

  • Pages require both horizontal and vertical scrolling on small screens. Success Criterion 1.4.10 - Reflow (WCAG 2.1 AA)
  • The keyboard focus may be partially fully obscured and therefore not visible. Success Criterion 2.4.11 - Focus Not Obscured (WCAG 2.2 AA)
  • Interactive components are not sufficiently spaced or do not meet the required minimum target size. Success Criterion 2.5.8 - Target Size (Minimum) (WCAG 2.2 AA)

Disproportionate burden

Some embedded videos (e.g., from external platforms such as YouTube) do not provide audio descriptions. Due to disproportionate burden, these cannot currently be provided.

Content from third parties

Content or services from third-party providers - such as payment service providers - lie outside our sphere of influence; therefore, we cannot guarantee their full accessibility.

Preparation and updating of this accessibility statement
