Surveying the Needs of Low-mobility Individuals in Cache County, Utah

Transportation plays a pivotal role in providing access to opportunities and serves as a key component in supporting independent living and full participation in society. Access to health care, education, work, shopping, etc. are essential to all individuals. Access to these necessities may be limited to those that are considered low mobility - low income groups, the disabled and the elderly. This project will investigate the needs of these low mobility individuals, and how access to necessary activities, commodities and care may be best met.
