摘要：	The purpose of this project was to establish an inventory of transit vehicles used by special needs and human services organizations in coastal Louisiana, and to incorporate the information into a GIS that would allow queries on the data base. The data was collected by means of a mail out/mail back survey within the context of transportation needs in an emergency. Online ArcGIS was used to allow quick assessment of transit resources and transportation demand that will arise in an emergency. Transportation demand from the general public was estimated recognizing the daily migration of the population and their location at different times of the day. The study found that the organizations surveyed were, in general, not enthusiastic about establishing an inventory of special needs and human services transit resources (a survey response rate of only12% was obtained). However, the vehicles they have at their disposal represent a substantial resource of specialized transportation. In addition, their drivers are a valuable resource in that they are generally well trained in catering to the special needs of their clients, and approximately one-half of them are prepared to provide their services in an emergency. The study concluded that means must be found to obtain greater participation of these organizations in establishing a full inventory and cooperating with each other during emergencies.
