Abstract:The Buffalo, NY ITS4US project aims to solve mobility challenges for all travelers with a specific focus on underserved communities, including people with disabilities, older adults, low-income individuals, rural residents, veterans, and limited English proficiency travelers by deploying an integrated set of travel support services and systems within neighborhoods surrounding the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus (BNMC). The Medical Campus is located on 120 acres adjacent to downtown Buffalo and includes nearly 9 million square feet of clinical, research, office, and development space. More than 16,000 people work or study at the BNMC and more than 1.5 million people visit each year for healthcare and other services. Through the deployment, the Buffalo, NY ITS4US project seeks to address the challenges facing underserved communities in the area by: 1. Providing transit access to healthcare and jobs to underserved residents including persons with disabilities and allowing them to share in the economic development in downtown Buffalo. 2. Leveraging technology to work in support for accessible transportation, integrating accessible transportation technology, transit, and connected automation to solve a transportation need. 3. Developing a scalable model for considering accessibility and universal design in transportation technology projects.
