UMTA (Urban Mass Transportation Administration) and AOA (Administration on Aging) National Conference on Transportation for the Elderly and Handicapped (1st)

摘要

The conference was held in October 1984. It includes a summary of the conference's sessions and recommendations, and selected papers and presentations given at the conference. The papers included cover coordination at the state or local levels, consolidated transportation services, demand responsive services supporting a public operator, user-side subsidies in metropolitan areas, contracting for special services, and use of volunteer services. A few papers deal with financing issues, including Pennsylvania's program to pay for elderly transportation services with lottery proceeds. The report should be especially useful to planners or operators of transportation services for special users.
