Synthesizing traditional and emerging approaches to public transit for people with disabilities, the authors offer research findings and everyday practices that are informative and can be adapted to our own communities.' - Joey Goldman, Nelson\Nygaard Consulting, Co-Chair, TRB Committee on Accessible Transportation and Mobility
