In 1986, the Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) assembled an advisory panel to develop model safety specification for lifts, ramps, and wheelchair securement on buses and paratransit vehicles. Through an interagency agreement with UMTA, the Board contracted for the production of a technical paper with this project to address issues and concerns not specifically covered by a specification, a discussion of areas for further research, and an annotated bibliography. The annotated bibliography is computerized, permitting searches on a variety of key words, author, title, and subject matter. The paper is intended to help transportation providers and potential patrons make appropriate decisions in planning transportation services to meet the needs of disabled consumers.
