Transportation Equity for Ohioans with Disabilities


Finding safe, affordable, and appropriate transportation options can be difficult for Ohioans with disabilities. Limited access to transportation prevents people with disabilities from getting to medical appointments, work, school and community events.

GRC, with support from the Ohio Developmental Disabilities Council (Ohio DD Council), is surveying Ohioans with disabilities, transportation service providers who serve Ohioans with disabilities, and agencies and advocates for Ohioans with disabilities about transportation experiences and barriers. This survey is a follow-up to the 2017 report Transportation Challenges for Ohioans with Disabilities. Read the full report here.


The 2021 survey will aim to answer the following questions: 

  1. What is the current status of transportation accessibility for Ohioans with disabilities?
  2. Does the new sample of survey participants identify the same or similar transportation challenges as the sample from the 2017 report? 
  3. Were any of the recommendations from the 2017 report implemented to improve transportation accessibility for Ohioans with disabilities?
  4. Does the new sample identify any new transportation challenges that were not identified in the 2017 report (i.e. particularly related to COVID-19)?

The 2021 survey is now open! If you are a person with a disability over the age of 19 or a transportation provider, visit go.osu.edu/B7XY to take the survey.
