Vaishnav and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Essential Air Service (EAS) program was established in 1978 to guarantee air connectivity for residents of small communities to the national air transportation system. Currently, over half of EAS communities are within 70 highway-miles of another airport leading to passenger leakage at EAS airports and rising program costs. However, communities have shown no interest in accessing federal funds for creative alternatives to air service to connect their residents to the national air transportation system. This paper presents five case studies of EAS communities to understand the reasons why local proponents support air service that is rarely used. The case studies present three main findings: the EAS program is a gateway to federal airport infrastructure funds of the Airport Improvement Program; there is an information gap between the US DOT and the EAS communities regarding existing alternate programs; and local politics and airport administrators0́9 personal professional concern sustains support for local air service. These dynamics lead communities to ignore better alternatives to air service that currently exist or are potentially viable in many EAS communities. The findings of this study have important policy implications: the Congress and the DOT need to define the purpose of the EAS program to target federal funds more efficiently. Further studies on decoupling the impact of general aviation and commercial air service at small airports can help structure an effective federal response to address local concerns regarding the adoption of alternatives to air service with a loss of AIP funds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: In the decade between 1962 and 1972, certificated air service was deleted at about 250 points in the United States. In some of these cases, the service was no longer needed because of improved highway access to communities of interest. In other cases, the rapidly emerging commuter carrier industry replaced certificated carriers at marginal points However, in many cases, the cities were left without adequate transportation In addition, many cities that have never received air service now face a similar plight. The federal government, through the creation of the local service air carriers in the mid-1940s and their subsequent subsidy, has attempted to provide better air service to the nation's smaller towns. But the questions persist Is the federal subsidy program effective? Should federal regulation and/or subsidy be extended to commuter carriers? Indeed, should the federal government subsidize this type of service at all? What national goals does subsidy support? Perhaps most important, who should be formulating the answers to these questions?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future of disability in America will depend on how well the U.S. prepares for and manages the demographic, fiscal, and technological developments that will unfold during the next two to three decades. Building upon two prior studies from the Institute of Medicine (the 1991 Institute of Medicine's report Disability in America and the 1997 report Enabling America), The Future of Disability in America examines both progress and concerns about continuing barriers that limit the independence, productivity, and participation in community life of people with disabilities. This book offers a comprehensive look at a wide range of issues, including the prevalence of disability across the lifespan; disability trends the role of assistive technology; barriers posed by health care and other facilities with inaccessible buildings, equipment, and information formats; the needs of young people moving from pediatric to adult health care and of adults experiencing premature aging and secondary health problems; selected issues in health care financing (e.g., risk adjusting payments to health plans, coverage of assistive technology); and the organizing and financing of disability-related research. The Future of Disability in America is an assessment of both principles and scientific evidence for disability policies and services. This book's recommendations propose steps to eliminate barriers and strengthen the evidence base for future public and private actions to reduce the impact of disability on individuals, families, and society.
