Abstract:Many persons with disabilities need specific types of modifications made to and/or adaptive equipment added to their motor vehicles to meet their transportation needs. NHTSA is frequently asked "how many vehicles are modified with adaptive equipment to be used by and/or to transport persons with disabilities"? NHTSA's National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA) recently compared data from three different sources to answer this question: NHTSA's National Automotive Sampling System Crashworthiness Data System (NASS/CDS), the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), and the Census Bureau. Estimates of the number of vehicles with adaptive equipment from these three data sources are presented in this Research Note, along with the 95% confidence limits for each estimate.
