Abstract

The history is outlined and the operations are briefly described of a transportation system (Handicabs) for the elderly and handicapped in Milwaukee. The service offers door to door, low cost, safe transport of passengers by employees trained in handling wheelchairs and disabled persons. For the success of the system, it is considered that the users must become aware of the type of service offered. The commission arrangement with the driver is considered essential for the efficiency of a demand-responsive service.
