本工具包的目的是开启一场关于铁路无障碍的全球对话，并提出在铁路行业相互推进劳动权益与残障人士权利的策略。为此，它介绍了《联合国残疾人权利公约》（CRPD），说明如何借助该公约强化工会的授权，并在与残障人士权利有关的各个领域推动法律和监管改革。
The purpose of the Toolkit is to begin a global dialogue on rail accessibility and propose strategies to mutually advance labour and disability rights across the rail sector. It does this by introducing the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), showing how it can be used to strengthen trade union mandates and campaign for legal and regulatory reform in all areas relating to the rights of disabled people.
