Mobility barrier for disabled people

International audienceThe aim of this paper is to understand why people with disabilities travel less than people with any difficulty and why they use different transport modes. For that, we had a quantitative and qualitative approach. Our research is based on the National Travel Survey (NTS) that was conducted in France in 2007-2008. Secondly, and to provide in-depth elements for the understanding of situations faced by disabled people, we carried out fifty semi-structured interviews with people who may be experienced difficulties when travelling. We will try to detect difficulties that people may face when they are travelling, by observing separately each mode: walking, car, public and specialized transport
