  1. “The Complete Trip Concept: a Framework for Universal Design in Mobility” Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers Workshop Series: AVs & Increased Accessibility Workshop 2: Technologies for Providing Increased Vehicle Accessibility to People with Disabilities and Older Adults Washington, DC July 19, 2019 Presented by: Murat Omay Federal Transit Administration, Office of Research, Demonstration, and Innovation

  2. Trends • 56.7 million; 19% US population (2010 Census) • Unemployment Rate – 13.2 %; Income: $38,400 ($61,000) • Poverty: 24.7% (9.0%) • Rise in Autism: 1 in 150 (2000) to 1 in 68 (2010) • Fed expenditures: $226 B (2002); $357 B (2008) • 21.4 million Americas are Veterans • Disability claims: 104,819 (2006) vs. 634,743 (2012) • 2.6 million deployed in 2012, 45% of eligible Veterans file claims for disability • Spending: $0.93 billion (2006) vs. $5.95 billion (2012) • Disability rates rise as people get older • 43.1 million age 65 + in 2012 or 1 in 7 people • 28% live alone • Expected to reach 72.1 million by 2030

  3. The Challenge • Unemployment rate for adults age 16+ (BLS 2018): • People with disabilities (2016-2017 average): 9.9% • People without disabilities (2016-2017 average): 4.4% • Unemployment rate for adults age 16+ (DOL 2018): • People with disabilities (2018): 8.3% • People without disabilities (2018): 4.0% • Predominant barriers to employment for people with disabilities: • Difficulty leaving home alone: 17.5% • Lack of transportation: 11.7%

  4. Impact ofTransportation of people with disabilities consider it a significant problem in accessing jobs 2x 76% 29% people with disabilities say it is important to their Daily Living Needs of people with disabilities say it is important to their job search Source: Andrea Lubin and Devajyoti Deka, “The Role of Public Transportation as a Job Access Mode: Lessons from a Survey of Persons with Disabilities in New Jersey”, Rutgers The State University of New Jersey, 2011

  5. Layers of Complexity – User Needs Vision Mobility Hearing Cognitive

  6. ATTRI Program Vision Accessible Transportation Technologies Research Initiative (ATTRI) seeks to remove barriers to transportation by leveraging advanced technology to enable people to travel independently anytime of the day to any destination, regardless of their individual abilities.

  7. The Complete Trip 1. Plan and Book a Trip Andy uses a pre-trip concierge application. 5. Arrival at Destination Andy safely arrives at his destination, while the pre-trip concierge application plans his return trip home. 2. Travel to Transit Station An automated shuttle (rideshare service) is dispatched. 4. Cross the Street As Andy approaches an intersection, his safe intersection crossing application communicates with the traffic signal. 3. Ride the Bus While on the bus, Andy receives direction on when to pull the Stop Request cord from his wayfinding and navigation application.

  8. Prototype Areas of Focus and Consideration Smart Wayfinding & Navigation Pre-Trip Concierge & Virtualization Safe Intersection Crossing Robotics & Automation

  9. Current ATTRI Porotypes

  10. Current ATTRI PorotypesContinued CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY Awarded by the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILLR) this project researches and develops seamless transportation assistance from cloud-based autonomy and shared robots located in and around transportation hubs.

  11. Continue Your Involvement in ATTRI • Follow the forthcoming Industry Forum • Participate in the Barriers and Solutions Online Dialogue • Follow the Prototype Demonstrations • Follow future Strategic Partnership Opportunities

  12. Open Discussion What challenges do you see in implementing universal design principles? Which can you meet? Which can you not? What is the most effective role for Government in a partnership to meet Complete Trip goals? What immediate opportunities do you have to partner with DOT and others in the ATTRI ecosystem?
