Explanation:
I think this phrase would satisfy your explanation as far as you explained. Please, next time provide a more extensive context.

In this case, provided you have little context, I would suggest the following phrase: "With an allowance for handicapped people". I think that English "low/limited mobility groups" will be too poor and ambiguous if taken for Russian "маломобильные группы".

neutral  Dylan Edwards: "disabled" is usually preferred to "handicapped" - "groups with disabilities" may be an option here.

  -> Thank you. Your variant seems to be more accurate.
neutral  Michael Tovbin: handicapped/disabled - не обязательно связано с ограничением мобильности. Олигофрения - тоже disability, но не связана с ограниченной подвижностью.

Not really, unless you like "physically challenged", which is a politically correct version. What do we call lifts in a subway? Well, in the USA they call them elevators in a subway, and here we call them lifts in the Underground, or more colloquially the Tube.
