ATTRI Institutional and Policy Issues Assessment Summary Report

This report summarizes the research and findings of the Accessible Transportation Technologies Research Initiative (ATTRI) Institutional and Policy Assessment. The objective of this project is to identify and analyze the policy, institutional, and legal issues that are hindering development and deployment of advanced technologies with potentials to improve mobility for people with disabilities. The major policy, institutional, and legal issues identified include lack of awareness of disability needs among policy makers and technology developers, relatively weak research and development incentives due to the perception of lack of economic feasibility in the market of persons with disabilities, under utilized potential of Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) in providing paratransit services, inconsistent standards/regulations/laws across regions, and technology developers’ concerns of liabilities and risks. A list of eight potential actions was proposed to address those issues. The proposed actions were evaluated and prioritized based on their travel and economic impacts and feasibility.
