National Aging and Disability Transportation Center

The National Aging and Disability Transportation Center (NADTC) has released an article in conjunction with FEMA to provide information and resources that help people with disabilities before, during and after disasters. This article highlights the importance of ensuring that people with disabilities and older adults have accessible public transportation options during these emergencies, and provides guidance to help transportation providers better serve these communities.

The National Aging and Disability Transportation Center released a new publication that provides a synthesis of intensive focus groups and stakeholder meetings on the transportation experiences of older adults, and younger adults with disabilities. The report is part of NADTC’s continued DEI initiative and gives greater insight into the national transportation landscape for older adults.

This Trends Report highlights the findings of two national surveys conducted by NADTC. Data show that most respondents rely on friends and family rather than public transportation due to a lack of information about available community services. The report also shares tips, strategies and local examples onhow transit agencies can better communicate with riders.
