• Abstract:
  The number of vehicles with adaptive equipment is expected to continue to increase as the U. S. population ages and as access to employment, travel, and recreation continues to improve for persons with disabilities, as a result of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). To guide agency research in this area, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) began soliciting information on potential safety issues for users of adapted vehicles via the NHTSA Internet site in 1997. This research note provides a summary of questionnaire responses to date.
