TY - JOUR PY - 1982// TI - Improved mobility for elderly and handicapped persons JO - Transportation engineering journal of the American Society of Civil Engineers A1 - Bautz, JA A1 - Casey, R. A1 - Kendall, D A1 - Page, E A1 - Spear, B SP - 117 EP - 127 VL - 108 IS - 1 N2 - The authors show how the mobility of elderly and handicapped persons can be improved in an economical manner by using existing resources more efficiently. Techniques such as coordination of social agency transportation and user subsidies can provide improved service to these groups at a lower cost than starting new transportation services. These approaches are described and findings from demonstrations and studies are presented. In addition, recent experience with the use of wheelchair accessible transit buses is presented.
