With anticipated demographic and economic changes, there is an expectation of need for innovative transportation for different segments of society, for drivers as well as nondrivers. In this study, two groups, the elderly and those of low income, were studied in regard to their current and future transportation needs and modes. It is anticipated that intelligent transportation system technologies could help meet these needs. A review of the literature was supplemented by interviews with service providers and focus groups. The findings of the study are organized by which intelligent transportation solutions (for both personal and public modes) are likely to contribute positively in meeting the desired transportation attributes indicated by the two populations. It was found that travel and transportation demand management, electronic payment, and public transportation operations will yield the most benefits to the elderly and low-income people in terms of their desired transportation attributes.
