• Abstract:
  Generally, the transportation options for Florida’s vulnerable populations are limited. People with low mobility, such as older adults or individuals with disabilities, or individuals with limited economic means often face challenges with their daily transportation needs. To address these issues, policy makers need a comprehensive view to identify transportation options, access, and gaps to help meet the mobility needs of vulnerable populations. University of Florida researchers developed a GIS model which identifies transportation gaps for vulnerable populations.
