| Abstract | The study examines access issues relating to persons with sensory and cognitive impairments in fixed route applications. There are four main goals of the report: 1) To determine existing technologies, operating policies, and training programs that are currently being used by transit agencies in North America to accommodate individuals with sensory and cognitive disabilities; 2) To examine the technological and operational needs where there are problems of transit access for individuals with disabilities which are not currently being addressed; 3) To specify design guidelines and conceptual designs that solve problems of transit access for individuals with disabilities; and 4) To specify operating policy and training program modifications to increase transit access for individuals with disabilities. |
