TRANSPORTATION FOR SENIORS AND HANDICAPPED PERSONS IN ST. LOUIS. VOLUME II. APPENDICES

The primary purpose of the St. Louis Transportation Study was to identify the unmet public transit needs of the elderly and handicapped and plan a demonstration project to respond to these needs. Several specific innovations were being considered at the time, including a reduced fare plan for senior citizens and the handicapped during off-peak hours and a subsidiary, demand-actuated transit service for the physically disabled.
