With expected demographic and economic changes, there is an expectation of need for innovative transportation for different segments of society, particularly those who will be unable to drive personal vehicles for reasons of health or cost. In this study, two groups, the elderly and those of low income were studied in regard to their current and future transportation needs and modes. A review of the literature was supplemented by interviews with service providers and focus groups. The findings of the study are organized by which innovative transportation solutions (for both personal and public modes) are likely to contribute positively in meeting the desired transportation attributes indicated by the two populations. It was found that services that make personal vehicles more affordable would contribute most to providing the desired transportation attributes to those who are physically able to drive. For those who use public transportation, services that make it more convenient, e.g., geographically and temporally, and those that improve security are likely to make the greatest contribution toward providing the desired transportation attributes.
