La Romagnola is a social cooperative based in Rimini, Italy, dedicated to improving access to mobility and work for people with disabilities. Its central service, “Rimini per Tutti,” provides transport for people who cannot use ordinary public transport independently, including wheelchair users and people with mobility difficulties, whether permanent or temporary. The service also supports people travelling for healthcare, including dialysis, and is designed to meet a need that can affect the wider community, not only people with disabilities.

The cooperative’s guiding principle is to work with people with disabilities for people with disabilities. It turns employment inclusion into practical participation through real work, responsibility, professional skills and involvement in the cooperative’s life. A substantial share of its workforce consists of people with disabilities, and the cooperative reports that this proportion has consistently remained well above the statutory minimum of 30 percent. Through its transport and employment activities, La Romagnola combines social purpose with services intended to strengthen access and participation across Rimini.
