National Transportation Availability and Use Survey 2002 - Public Use Data Files

This report presents the analysis and raw data from the National Transportation Availability and Use Survey 2002. This survey identifies the impact of transportation on the work and social lives of people with disabilities, and the extent to which such impact is unique to that population. This survey employed a screening questionnaire, followed by an extended survey instrument for the selected persons. Persons of any age (including children) were eligible to be interviewed. Proxy interviews with a knowledgeable respondent were required for persons under age 16 years and for persons who were unable to complete the interview for themselves due to the severity of their impairments. The survey employed data collection methods that ensured the greatest possible participation regardless of the respondents' limitations. This included Internet and mail versions of the questionnaire, a Spanish version of the questionnaire, and the use of interpreters.
