| Abstract | This report presents the results of six case studies and a literature review of the current status of planning activities for phasing accessible buses into fixed-route transit service. It summarizes the activities undertaken by transit systems currently providing accessible fixed-route service or intending to implement the service in the near future. Six case study systems — those in Champaign-Urbana , Illinois; Los Angeles, California; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; St. Louis, Missouri; Santa Clara County, California; and Washington, D.C. — are discussed in detail in appendices to this report. This is the first interim report to be prepared under a study entitled "Planning for the Phase-In of Fixed-Route Accessible Buses." The study is being conducted to prepare a manual for use by transit operators and Metropolitan Planning Organizations for planning fixed-route accessible bus service. |
