A Saltzman, G Amedee

Abstract

An assessment of the nature of transportation problems of the poor, elderly, and handicapped comprises the first section of this paper. It is shown that demand-responsive transportation systems such as Dial-A-Ride are demonstrably superior to conventional transit in providing for the transportation needs of the transportation disadvantaged. The impact of various demonstration projects of demand-responsive transportation are reviewed. The emphasis is on the effect these projects had on serving the poor, elderly and handicapped. /GMRL/
