The Nexus Between Infrastructure and Accessibility

This project will seek to identify and explore through case study analysis successful strategies being employed by transit agencies in the United States to address infrastructure barriers impeding access to transit facilities by persons with disability.The result of this effort will be a detailed report documenting the strategies identified through the case study analysis. The report will be written to provide guidance and recommendations to transit agencies seeking to address this significant concern that is limiting transit access to a specific transportation disadvantaged population – namely, persons with disability.
