In 2022 the tramway opened in Odense. It ensures easy and accessible, green public transportation between busy hotspots (the University, the new
20 hospital opening in ultimo 2025/early 2026 and the central train station), leisure activities (city centre, shopping centre, the Hans Christian Andersen House and the stadium) and residential areas. The tramway is a major part of the commuter infrastructure and provides alternative transport to large-scale events at the University, stadium, or concert areas in and around the city. In 2023 Odense Letbane, the company behind the tramway, started to collaborate with local events, such as ‘Sportslørdag’ and ‘Eventyrløbet’ to offer free transportation for participants at the events. The tramway is considered the most inclusive and accessible transportation, due in no small part to the accessibility group that provided consultation during the planning and construction of the tram. The accessibility group, formed by Odense Letbane, consisted of people with different disabilities or special needs who spoke on behalf of relevant interest organisations. The result is a unique insight into which accessibility features we must implement on the tram and at tram stations.
