RELEASED , General Accounting Office Status Of Special Efforts To Meet Transportation Needs Of The Elderly And Handicapped GAO surveyed the special efforts being undertaken by transit systems to accom- modate the transportation needs of the elderly and handicapped after recision of a Federal rule that required all federally as- sisted transit systems to make their sys- tems accessible to the handicapped. The 84 transit systems GAO contacted have certified that they are making these special efforts. GAO found that while some of these systems are continuing to make their conventional transit services accessi- ble to the handicapped, the majority are providing some form of demand-responsive paratransit service using buses, vans, or taxis. Comments on the adequacy of these special efforts were also obtained from representatives of organizations for the elderly and handicapped. 118372 CED-82-66 PcouIL 15,1982 5~2~3~
