Book Description
A detailed study of a larger group of the transportation disadvantaged--the carless--was carried out, incorporating an extensive personal survey of over 400 respondents in Buffalo, New York. Analysis of the survey and other sources of information indicate the wide degree of heterogeneity of this group. While the person most likely to be disadvantaged by being carless is female and elderly, over half the population suffers from lack of access to a car. Car availability, as opposed to household car ownership is a key variable in determining degree of disadvantaged. Of all households that owned no car, over three-quarters had a car available for at least one significant activity. Regardless of access to a car, there is a basic level of mobility, expressed in trips per person, per day common to most people. Differences in travel between groups are qualitative rather than quantitative and occur in the selection of activities and the priority of activities people choose. Fourteen non-work activities were examined in depth. It was found that while public transit is a viable alternative to the car for non-work trips, the viability is limited to only a few selected activities. Walking is extremely important to the carless.
