The experience of transportation disadvantaged service plan in America and its enlightenments to China
As the population continues to age,there is increasing academic attention to the con-struction of an elderly-friendly social environment.Guided by active aging,it is crucial to adapt transportation infrastructure to the needs of the elderly and implement corresponding service management measures.Given China's significant elderly population,the urgent need arises to create age-friendly public transportation environments.Currently,several challenges exist,in-cluding the exploration of transportation planning for the elderly,traditional planning's lack of re-sponsiveness to diverse travel patterns among the elderly,and the necessity to strengthen gover-nance measures in establishing age-friendly public transportation environments.This study in-vestigates the developmental process,key considerations,and governance strategies of transpor-tation service planning for vulnerable groups in Florida.It explores the characteristics of partici-patory planning processes,differentiated transportation service strategies,and systematic gover-nance measures,aiming to provide valuable insights into China's efforts in constructing an age-friendly public transportation environment.Taking into account China's national context and the current state of population aging,the study proposes the following three recommendations:①Develop transportation service plans that cater to the specific needs of the elderly,with a focus on creating a favorable policy environment.This involves establishing a collaborative,multi-lev-el planning and governance system for vulnerable groups,promoting the integration of"age-friendly"design and"elderly-assistance"services.②Fully consider regional and individual dif-ferences,tailor construction targets and governance strategies accordingly,and propose refined transformation and governance approaches.③Advocate for a governance model that combines"full participation"and"technological empowerment,"effectively addressing the needs of the el-derly.This includes enhancing the involvement of the elderly in the creation of age-friendly pub-lic transportation and achieving a cooperative and shared governance approach to age-friendly transportation.
