This qualitative study explores how a society recognizes an individual with a disability as a valued part of a community's economy, culture, and spirit; and the role that access to transportation plays within the community setting. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) serves as a starting point and provides background for the study. This study consists of interviews with sixteen individuals, including caregivers as well as those with disabilities, on the experiences and choices that they must make when navigating the transportation system in the fast-growing communities of Fort Collins, Colorado, and Madison, Wisconsin, as well as in northern Illinois and Croatia.The results indicate that the difficulty in using, and the unpredictability of the transportation system have a pronounced effect on those with an ambulatory or visual disability. After all, transit often thought to be "accessible" is full of accommodation issues, lack of information, and unpredictability for someone with or who may develop a physical or visual limitation. By using open-ended questions, this study used a context-specific approach whereby participants would describe a situation and how that experience unfolded when using a specific mode of transportation. Participants were also asked about their opinions and experience with the built environment, universal design, and thoughts on emerging technologies such as autonomous vehicles. The results from this research question and hypotheses were coded and then broken into themes. From these themes separate chapters were created regarding transportation and discrimination, the changing needs of the aging Baby Boomer generation, and travel by air.The specific chapters are:Chapter 1: History of Transportation and the Disability Rights Movement.Chapter 2: How Unintentional Discrimination in the Transportation System May Cause Individuals with Disabilities to Become "Discouraged Workers" at Great Cost to Individuals, Families, and Communities.Chapter 3: Maintaining Transportation Accessibility for an Aging Baby Boomer Population.Chapter 4: Discriminatory Implications for People with an Ambulatory Disability Caused by the Systemic Design of the Airline Industry.
