Transportation Problems of the Rural Elderly: A Needs Assessment.

Grant, Peter R.; Rice, Bruce

Canadian Journal on Aging, v2 n3 p107-24 Nov 1983

A mail-out survey was used to assess the transportation needs of seniors living in relatively remote rural areas of Saskatchewan. Two types of transportation needs were identified: the need to make local trips at least once a week and the need for transportation to a district center at least once a month. (Author/CT)
