Abstract:

An estimated 25.5 million Americans have disabilities that make traveling outside the home difficult. They accounted for 8.5 percent of the population age 5 and older in 2017. An estimated 13.4 million of these Americans—more than half—are adults aged 18 to 64, the age group with typically high labor force participation. How do disabilities affect their travel for work, errands, socializing, and other activities? This report uses data from the 2017 National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) to examine the daily travel patterns of American adults with travel-limiting disabilities and data from the 2001 and 2009 NHTS to illustrate trends over time. The NHTS asks individuals to self-report if they have a travel-limiting disability. While the report focuses on adults aged 18 to 64, it also includes analysis for workers and non-workers, rural- and non-rural residents, and people age 65 and older. The statistics in this report are based on weighted percentages and means. The comparisons in this report are statistically significant at the p < 0.05 level.
