Abstract

This report identifies and discusses the travel behaviour of the orthopedically handicapped and the elderly in an urban environment. Mobility indices have been developed for various types of handicaps, car ownership and income levels. Barriers to travel as perceived by the handicapped have been identified and analyzed for each travel mode. Preferences for improvement to available travel modes have been documented and related to trip purpose and current mode usage.
