Preparation of TCRP Report 82 involved an indepth literature review, analyses of various large-scale databases, focus groups with older persons, focus groups and expert interviews with transit industry representatives, case studies of the best practices from transportation programs designed to improve travel opportunities for older persons, and identification of opportunities for further innovations. The research results are presented in three products: a color brochure, a research Final Report, and a Handbook. The color brochure allows readers to quickly grasp the key issues and findings of the research. The brochure, which is included in the Final Report also, is available separately. The research Final Report includes four sections: (1) Trends and Prospects, (2) Transit System Characteristics That Better Serve the Travel Needs of Older Persons, (3) Strategies for Implementing Better Transportation Services for Older Persons, and (4) Conclusion: Stepping Up to the Challenges to Better Transportation Services for Older Persons. The Handbook describes how to improve public transit services to make them more attractive to older persons.
