Title: ACCESSIBLE PASSENGER TRANSPORTATION 10 YEARS ON: A FRESH APPROACH TO POLICY
Accession Number: 00633307
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The International Year of the Disabled Person heightened the awareness of the need for people with reduced mobility to have access to the public transportation system, yet significant inroads have not been made into this underdeveloped sector of the market. There is clearly an enormous potential for creating a fully integrated public transportation network, but what little has been done has taken a simplistic approach to vehicle design rather than address systems design. A radical change in the philosophy behind public transportation is necessary if the quality of life for people with reduced mobility is to be maintained.
