This report identifies and discusses the travel behavior of the orthopedically handicapped and the elderly in an urban environment. Mobility indices have been developed for various types of handicaps, car ownership and income levels. The usage of common transportation modes has been analyzed in conjunction with type of handicap and purpose of trip. The interrelationship between mobility, mode usage and psychological condition have been measured and analyzed. Barriers to travel as perceived by the handicapped have been identified and analyzed for each travel mode. Preferences for improvement to available travel modes have been documented and related to trip purpose and current mode usage.
