Status Of Special Efforts

To Meet Transportation Needs

Of The Elderly And Handicapped



GAO surveyed the special efforts being
undertaken by transit systems to accom-
modate the transportation needs of the
elderly and handicapped after recision of a
Federal rule that required all federally as-
sisted transit systems to make their sys-
tems accessible to the handicapped.

The 84 transit systems GAO contacted
have certified that they are making these
special efforts. GAO found that while some
of these systems are continuing to make
their conventional transit services accessi-
ble to the handicapped, the majority are
providing some form of demand-responsive
paratransit service using buses, vans, or
taxis. Comments on the adequacy of these
special efforts were also obtained from
representatives of organizations for the
elderly and handicapped.
