Abstract: An estimated 1 in 86 children are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) making it the most commonly diagnosed childhood neurological condition in Canada. Transportation challenges for those with ASD are a growing issue in Canada. People living with ASD and others who live with neurodevelopmental disability (NDD) rely almost exclusively on public transit and caregivers for transportation. The current transportation options are insufficient in meeting the needs of this population.
