| 摘要： | The elderly and people with disabilities have particular characteristics that need to be understood to be able to provide transit service that is sensitive to their needs. Most transit agencies in the U.S. collect data from electronic farebox systems that usually contain critical information about seniors and the disabled population. This research was designed to help transit agencies efficiently use data collected at the farebox and generate information that can be used to improve services for seniors and people with disabilities. It uses computerized mechanisms to take full advantage of the data to determine the travel characteristics and behavior of this very important segment of the population. Knowing the travel patterns and preferences of the elderly and disabled community can provide transit planners with the information needed to plan ahead. Expected use of this information may include prioritizing transit amenities, assessing existing and needed infrastructure, providing services at particular time of day and at particular locations using the type of vehicles needed to provide transit services, explaining compliance with the federal regulations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and helping improve the overall mobility of seniors and people with disabilities. |
