Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The Transportation Research Board (TRB) Workshop on Airport Access for Disabled and Elderly Persons was held in June 1990. This paper was commissioned by the workshop. The topic addressed by the paper is the market for airport services among people with disabilities. The paper begins by defining the airport-disabled, then identifies the data sources used. The potential market for airport services and the airport-disabled population are quantified. The characteristics of the airport-disabled population are identified, followed by a discussion of the types of barriers faced by disabled persons in their use of airport terminal services and the extent to which these barriers are limiting usage of air travel services by disabled persons. The paper also suggests areas in which further research is required in order to deal adequately with this problem.
