The United States is home to more than 54 million people with disabilities. This book looks at public transit and transportation systems with a focus on new and emerging needs for individuals with disabilities, including the elderly. The book covers the various technologies, policies, and programs that researchers and transportation stakeholders are exploring or putting into place. Examples of innovations are provided, with close attention to inclusive solutions that serve the needs of all transportation users.
'Written by leading researchers in the field, Accessible Public Transportation is a thoroughly readable primer for everyone—policymakers, planners, and advocates new to the topic. Synthesizing traditional and emerging approaches to public transit for people with disabilities, the authors offer research findings and everyday practices that are informative and can be adapted to our own communities.' - Joey Goldman, Nelson\Nygaard Consulting, Co-Chair, TRB Committee on Accessible Transportation and Mobility
