• Abstract:
  The Conference was highly successful in detailing problems now encountered in providing transportation services to the elderly and handicapped and in recommending specific solutions to those problems. There was a strong focus on realistic, practical, short-term, low-cost solutions; no new major funding initiatives were called for, no major legislative changes were proposed, and no massive organizational shifts were requested. The Conference generated the ideas necessary for significant improvements, and provided a consensus for their implementation. What's needed now is the leadership to convert these ideas into reality. AoA and UMTA need to exercise their leadership to make these improvements happen.
