• Abstract:
  Many transit systems are planning to introduce accessible buses into their fixed-route operation. This report was prepared for use by transit systems and Metropolitan Planning Organizations in planning for these services so as to minimize service disruption and to maximize mobility benefits. It provides guidance in seven key functional areas of the transit system that will be impacted by the phase-in of accessible buses. The seven areas are citizen participation; vehicle procurement and facility improvements; service planning and operations; maintenance; training; marketing; and monitoring and evaluation. The report offers a range of options which can be tailored to the particular system.
