Abstract: We study controllability of a Partial Differential Equation of transport type, that arises in crowd models. We are interested in controlling such system with a control being a Lipschitz vector field on a fixed control set $omega$. We prove that, for each initial and final configuration, one can steer one to another with such class of controls only if the uncontrolled dynamics allows to cross the control set $omega$. We also prove a minimal time result for such systems. We show that the minimal time to steer one initial configuration to another is related to the condition of having enough mass in $omega$ to feed the desired final configuration.
