Smith

Abstract

Recent changes in Federal requirements for providing public transportation to the handicapped are identified. Accessible fixed-route service and demand responsive service are evaluated as the two primary alternatives for meeting the Urban Mass Transit Administration's current special efforts requirement. The potential for accessible fixed-route service is evaluated based on early experiences in St. Louis and Milwaukee accessible fixed-route system for Madison, Wisconsin, is developed using Seattle demand data and compared with the existing demand responsive systems.
