背景：公共交通的障碍迅速影响残疾人充分体验社区的能力。目的：对残疾人进行了一次全国性调查，以了解残疾人使用公共交通的障碍和支助以及对社区参与的影响。方法：共有1748名受访者参与了一项关于公共交通可达性的网络调查。结果目前的频率的障碍，公共交通和组的差异，皮尔森卡方技术和曼惠特尼U检验。结果如下：大多数受访者在使用公共交通方面遇到困难，不定期举行的社群活动更容易受到公共交通问题的影响。失明或低视力、精神残疾、慢性健康状况或多重残疾的个人在使用公共交通参与社区活动时遇到更多问题，沿着的参与者包括女性、西班牙裔、拉丁裔/拉丁裔或西班牙裔。局限性：调查的分布是以服从为基础的，这可能影响了某些残疾群体、文化群体和/或没有计算机访问的群体的参与，并且无法对预测或偶然的关系进行解释。结论：残疾人在使用公共交通时面临重大挑战，某些残疾群体受到这些问题的影响更为严重。
Background: Barriers to public transportation quickly impact the ability of people with disabilities to fully experience their community. Objective: A national survey of people with disabilities was conducted to understand the barriers and supports to accessing public transportation and the impact on community participation. Method: A total of 1748 respondents responded to a web-based survey investigating the accessibility of public transportation. Results present frequency of barriers to public transportation and group differences using Pearson's chi-square technique and Mann-Whitney U tests. Results: A majority of respondents experienced difficulties accessing public transportation, and community activities that do not occur on a regular schedule are more affected by problems with public transportation. Individuals with blindness or low vision, psychiatric disabilities, chronic health conditions, or multiple disabilities experienced more problems using public transportation for community participation, along with participants who were female, Hispanic, Latino/Latina, or Spanish origin. Limitations: Survey distribution was convenience-based, which may have affected participation of certain disability groups, cultural groups, and/or those without computer access, and interpretations cannot be made regarding predictive or casual relationships. Conclusions: Significant challenges face individuals with disabilities as they use public transportation, and certain disability groups are more severely impacted by these problems.
