What are some inclusive mobility options for individuals with disabilities and older persons? TRB hosted a webinar on Tuesday, April 5, 2022 that identified key components of inclusive mobility. Presenters examined systems around the world that have successfully implemented coordinated approaches to integrated mobility. They discussed how these strategies create opportunity for inclusive travel. Presenters also examined a case study called Project Sidewalk, which emphasizes the trip chain and identifies the barriers to accessible travel.

This webinar is sponsored by the TRB Standing Technical Committee on Accessible Transportation and Mobility. It also refers to Consensus Study Report 337: The Role of Transit, Shared Modes, and Public Policy in the New Mobility Landscape.
