From
the previous transportation barriers and upcoming challenges, the public
transportation difficulties are consecutively rising. As we know that
transportation brings a change in our life. It makes us eligible for moving
from point ‘A’ to point ‘B’ easily and quickly. It helps us directly or
indirectly to make happening of life merriment. It doesn’t matter how it
happens. This is essentially all transportation is.
Nowadays,
every individual looking for better transportation resources, for accessing
various opportunities for obtaining educational facilities, employments
opportunities or for some private purposes. In all cases, the transportation
helps us in making our ideas happen. Whatever we decide to do but without
transportation deed, it becomes somehow impossible.
Some
previous records are met that define the necessity for special transportation
facilities as below:
United States Accident Report: The upcoming transportation requirements for safety
and security were highly solicited by senior citizens and by those, who are
unable to walk properly and having various disability issues. The Statistic
report by the census bureau of the United States describes that the total no.
of an accident in 2009 is about 55 million (land crashes such as highway
fatalities). And 22.02 million becomes injured and 33.8 million lost their
lives. Traffic fatalities related to on-road all-terrain vehicles (ATVs)
represented 1 per cent of total motor vehicle traffic fatalities each year from
2004 to 2013. The yearly ATV-related fatality counts from 2004 to 2013 ranged
from a low of 307 in 2012 to a high of 381 in 2008, according to the NHTSA’s
(National Highway Traffic safety Administration) report. This issue becomes the
critical for improving the transportation facilities with non-emergency transportation needs that
will be able to provide safety and security to lives.
United States Poverty Status Report: In 2014, the official poverty rate was 14.8 per
cent. There were 46.7 million people in poverty. Neither the poverty rate nor
the number of people in poverty was statistically different from the 2013
estimates. Poverty rates are persistently higher in rural and inner city parts
of the country as compared to suburban areas. In 1979-2009, 14.3% population lived in poverty of total US
population (43.6 million), 13.2%
population lived in poverty of total US population (39.8 million) in
2009 and in 2015, 16% population lived in poverty of total US population. It is
increasing day by day. Thus, there must be some special transportation
facilities that may easily afford by the poverty groups of the nation for
accessing medical facilities.
Disability Statistic Report: In the United States, approximately 56.7 million
people (18.7 percent) of the 303.9 million in the civilian
non-institutionalized population had a disability in 2010. About 38.3 million
people (12.6 percent) had a severe disability. About 12.3 million people aged 6
years and older (4.4 percent) needed assistance with one or more activities of
daily living (ADLs).
All
these reasons suggest us that the United States of America needs specially
equipped transportation facilities. With such transportation facilities, the
senior citizens will become eligible to support their health objectives and to
obtain assistance and ambulatory support. It will help the nation to promote
the poverty groups and to reduce the road fatalities by enabling the ambulatory
and supportive rides.
