Abstract

A national profile of the active network of non-profit agencies funded by Section 16(b)(2) of the Urban Mass Transportation Act is presented in this paper. The first part of this paper uses information collected from state managers on this program of capital assistance to non-profit agencies for transportation of the elderly and handicapped. The profile covers such agency characteristics as principal purpose, service modes, fleet size, and number of vehicles funded by Section 16(b)(2). Data are analysed by states, regions, and the nation, and will be compared with estimated elderly and handicapped population figures. A more detailed national profile of the program is presented in the second part of this paper. Ridership and operational information collected from a national sample of recipient agencies is used. Included are projections of size and characteristics of the fleet funded under the program, size and characteristics of ridership, and size and major sources of funding support for operating costs.
