TRANSED is the International Conference on Mobility and Transport for Older Adults and People with Disabilities. Held approximately every 3 years, TRANSED conferences attract researchers, policymakers, transportation operators, consumers, and other specialists from around the world to share innovations and best practices to make transportation and mobility accessible to everyone. This e-circular includes background information about previous TRANSED conferences and a brief description of the conference itself. The remainder of the e-circular includes 13 of the conference papers which were selected based on their high overall review score and whose authors agreed to complete an edit, if requested, in the English language. These papers represent a sample of current research and practice in the field of accessible transportation for older adults and people with disabilities.
