CAIT Main > Transportation Autism Project Manager Appointed to TRB Committee

CAIT is one of five National University Transportation Centers, an elite group of academic research institutions that are sanctioned and supported by the U.S. Department of Transportation.

Transportation Autism Project Manager Appointed to TRB Committee

Cecilia Feeley, CAIT's Transportation Autism Project manager, has been appointed to the TRB Committee on Paratransit (AP060) for a three-year term through April 2016.

Paratransit systems are flexible or on-demand transportation modes that are especially useful to elderly individuals or those with physical, cognitive, or developmental disabilities. Comprised of members from transportation management and planning agencies, the Committee on Paratransit focuses on conducting and distributing research on policy, paratransit service implementation, and paratransit operations. The committee sponsors a number of sessions each year at the TRB Annual Meeting in Washington, DC, with topics in understanding ridership needs and paratransit case studies.

Feeley, whose son is on the autism spectrum, has focused on improving public transit systems--including paratransit services--to promote greater independence and quality of life for people with developmental disabilities. She joined CAIT's Transportation Autism Project in October 2010 to address transportation and mobility issues for those on the autism spectrum.
