We have been awarded the DOGA Innovation Prize for Inclusive Design, in the category of Transportation Design! Design and Architecture Norway - DOGA The winning project, Tram for All, is the result of a fantastic collaboration with Sporveien AS and Ruter As, that spanned across 7 years, and led to a crew of 87 new trams servicing the people of Oslo. Sporveien and Ruter are the main providers of public transportation in Oslo, the capital of Norway. Together, with internal teams from Ruter, Sporveien, representatives from different employee unions, technical managers, stakeholders and many different traveler groups, we produced a design guide that is visionary, visually engaging and communicative. The guide outlined the background, vision, values and design principles to guide the suppliers when proposing their best tram for Oslo. The approach helped us create a design guide to challenge the suppliers by setting requirements and guidelines for materials, interiors, exteriors and experience. The guide also helped the evaluation team in selecting the best proposal and throughout the design phase with the supplier of the winning tram, CAF, in what we called "design-driven procurement process". This project is a fantastic example of inclusive user involvement for universal design in public services, achieved by engaging users at all stages of the process, from early definition to verification testing on trams in traffic. The new trams have better space, are safer to operate and access, have more doors, and are easier to board and operate. Overall, the new trams provide a smoother and more efficient experience for conductors and travellers.
