Conference Paper, Proceedings of 1st International Symposium on Quality of Life Technology, July, 2009

Abstract

We propose that citizen science methods can engage riders with disabilities and others in improving public transportation accessibility by documenting and assessing problems and good solutions throughout the system. This will empower riders, resulting in a greater understanding of the transportation system, and improve the feedback loop between rider and provider.
