STRIDE Webinar
Barriers & Facilitators of People with Disabilities in Accepting Autonomous Shared Mobility Services

Transportation is important for people with disabilities to access healthcare, services, jobs, goods, community involvement, and societal participation.
The autonomous shuttle offers opportunities to increase community mobility options for people with disabilities, but this issue has not yet been studied via rigorous research.
In this webinar, we will share what we found in our study quantifying people with disabilities’ perceptions, values, beliefs, and attitudes before and after riding in an autonomous shuttle (Level 4, Society of Automotive Engineering).
We will also share our model of facilitators and barriers from data collected on people with disabilities (n=42), when compared to data from older drivers (n=51) and younger and middle-aged drivers (n=50).
