Venice City Council has set up a transport service reserved for the disabled to help them get around in the city and surrounding areas. Depending on the requirement, minibuses, cars and boats with facilities for the disabled are available. The types of transport may be scholastic (for students no longer attending obligatory school), for work or for leisure. To get about in the city of Venice, you can also request the services of a carer to accompany the disabled person from his or her home to the place where the means of transport is located.
