In France, signs that refer to accessibility often use the formal term ‘personnes handicapées’ rather than ‘handicapés’. The verb ‘marcher’ is a common colloquial way to say a card or service is operational, but ‘fonctionner’ or ‘être valable’ are also perfectly acceptable. When speaking to someone directly, you can switch ‘ton’ to the polite ‘votre’ in formal contexts.
