Estimating The Cost For Achieving Universal Access To Centers For Independent Living, 1998, Tom Seekins Ph.D., Bill Innes, Alexandra Enders, Maryann Hubbard, University Of Montana Rural Institute
Independent Living and Community Participation
Over the past 20 years, the national network of centers for independent living has significantly advanced the cause of people with disabilities, and helped countless thousands of individuals with significant disabilities achieve healthy and independent lives. Yet, the residents of 40% of the nation’s counties - mostly rural counties - lack basic access to CILs. To achieve universal access to CIL services, we estimate an additional investment of approximately $71.2 million will be needed.

Independent Living and Community Participation
Where did it begin? For many years transportation has been recognized as a need for people with disabilities. Unfortunately, unlike their urban neighbors, rural residents have even less access to transportation, which in turn further limits their lives. The Supported Volunteer Rural Transportation Program (SVRT) is a means of providing rides to people with disabilities who cannot drive and who live in communities with limited public transportation. The SVRT program is similar to self-directed personal assistance service models (PAS) in that consumers control who their ride providers are, when they can get rides, and where they can go. Transportation programs …

Rural Transportation: Using Vouchers To Improve Access, University Of Montana Rural Institute
Independent Living and Community Participation
Transportation is one of the most frequently cited problems of people with disabilities living in rural areas. This includes transportation to and from work, personal and social obligations in and around small communities, and transportation from home to larger communities where services are available. Cutbacks in air, rail and bus services to rural areas have made these problems even more challenging for those with severe disabilities who often have low, fixed incomes. While many larger communities may have one or more major social service agencies, such as an aging services program, that cooperate to provide transportation services under various regulations, …

Extending The Independent Living Center Model To Rural Areas Through State And Local Efforts, Tom Seekins Ph.D., Craig Ravesloot Ph.D., Bob Maffit, University Of Montana Rural Institute
Independent Living and Community Participation
Independent living centers (ILCs) provide support services to adults with physical disabilities. Originally created through federal funding, most ILCs serve urban areas, leaving a large rural area and its population unreached by independent living ideas or services. Data on the expansion of the ILC service model to rural areas are presented. The need for further program development is discussed. 0ne third of the U.S. population lives outside of a Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (Korte, 1983) and 26% live in towns with less than 2,500 inhabitants (Bureau of the Census, 1970 as cited in Photiadis & Simoni, 1983).
