Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the applicant's request for special transport services to Helsinki and Kouvola for study and church visits. The court found that these cities did not qualify as 'nearby municipalities' under the Disability Services Act because they were too far from Heinola. Consequently, the municipality was not obligated to provide these specific transport services under the relevant statutory provisions.

Heinolassa asuva hakija oli anonut vaikeavammaisen kuljetuspalvelujen myöntämistä hänen asuinkunnastaan Helsinkiin tehtäviin opiskelumatkoihin ja Kouvolaan seurakuntaan tehtäviin matkoihin. Kun otettiin huomioon Helsingin ja Kouvolan kaupunkien etäisyys Heinolan kaupungista, Helsingin ja Kouvolan kaupunkeja ei pidetty vammaispalveluasetuksen 4 §:n 2 momentissa tarkoitettuina Heinolan kaupungin lähikuntina. Heinolan kaupunki ei siten ollut velvollinen järjestämään Helsingin kaupunkiin ja Kouvolan kaupunkiin ulottuviin matkoihin anottuja kuljetuspalveluja vammaispalvelulain 8 §:n 2 momentissa tarkoitettuina kuljetuspalveluina.
