Abstract

This webpage provides links a collection of interactive data-driven tools, maps, and graphs for visual data exploration and analysis examining interactions between disability, aging, environmental (e.g., socioeconomic, neighborhood characteristics) factors and ADA paratransit user demographics in the Ann Arbor area of Michigan. Registration (complimentary) is required to access the tools.

Many older adults and people with disabilities in the US experience inadequate access to affordable and reliable transportation. Individuals with the most severe disabilities, particularly those individuals unable or ineligible to drive and/or encounter barriers to using public transit, often rely on specialized demand-response transport services that operate door-to-door such as ADA paratransit, senior rides, and non-emergency medical transportation, for community mobility. Little is known about the individual and environmental factors that influence use and dependance on these services, and the extent to which characteristics of the neighborhood where they live facilitate or hinder their mobility, access to essential services, and social participation. This webpage provides interactive tools for data exploration and analysis on ADA paratransit user demographics in the Ann Arbor area of Michigan.
