This research uses qualitative data analysisand produces descriptive data.From this study, it can be concluded that the implementation of the fulfillment of the rights ofpersons with disabilities in the use of transportation facilities and infrastructure has not been runningoptimally. Inhibiting factors in the implementation of the fulfillment of the rights of persons with disabilitiesin the use of transportation facilities and infrastructure are due to inadequate budget factors, unpublishedsupporting regulations, weak human resources, limited facilities and infrastructure, and lack ofsocialization, education and supervision from the Pekanbaru City Social Service and the Pekanbaru CityTransportation Service.
