Human services professionals have long advocated for increased inclusion and equity in transportation planning, management and service delivery. Utilizing an inclusive planning process encourages attentiveness to the needs of underrepresented communities. By consistently practicing inclusion, transportation programs offer older adults and people with disabilities opportunities for authentic and effective engagement in policy development and program planning. Ultimately, the impact of inclusive and equitable practices is the creation of accessible mobility solutions that better meet the needs of the people who use those services.
