The study describes the implementation and early operation of a pilot project of fixed route, wheelchair accessible bus service on two routes of the San Diego Transit system. Five buses of the Transit Authority fleet were retrofitted with wheelchair lifts by the lift manufacturer. Four lift equipped buses are used in the service with one bus held as a spare. Relatively few lift problems have been encountered. Nevertheless, lift design improvements have been and are continually being made to improve its performance and usability. Ridership by wheelchair confined persons has been low and a number of possible reasons for this are enumerated. Wheelchair accessible bus service will incur added operational costs but insufficient experience has been generated to permit estimation of the annual amount.
