Comparing travel training innovations in Hong Kong and the United States.
Transportation services involving travel training provide 1 means of improving the community inclusion of persons with disabilities. Looking at 2 distinct situations, Hong Kong and the United States, this study made inquiries about the properties of the differing systems in place to improve this inclusiveness. Patterns can be identified concerning their approaches for increasing the use of fixed route transportation systems, but each had differences concerning enabling legislation, scope, and funding mechanisms. We provide generalizable suggestions for increasing the use of fixed route transportation.
