Area of Science:

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder Research
  • Transportation Accessibility Studies
  • Community Integration Programs

Background:

  • Autistic adults frequently encounter transportation barriers, limiting community participation in work and leisure activities.
  • Few programs specifically target improving transportation independence and safety for this population.
  • Rideshare services offer a potential solution, but require tailored training for effective and safe use.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the Safe Rideshare Program (SRP) for its acceptability and appropriateness in teaching autistic adults to use rideshare services.
  • To assess the potential impact of the SRP on transportation independence and safety.
  • To examine changes in rideshare utilization for community access over a two-month follow-up period.

Main Methods:

  • A one-group, pretest-posttest study design was employed.
  • Thirteen autistic adults participated in the study.
  • The intervention included virtual training modules and ride-along sessions using Uber or Lyft.

Main Results:

  • Twelve out of thirteen participants completed the program, reporting high acceptability and appropriateness.
  • Significant improvements in rideshare independence and safety were observed post-intervention.
  • At two-month follow-up, eight participants demonstrated increased independent rideshare usage (p = .011).

Conclusions:

  • The Safe Rideshare Program (SRP) is a promising intervention for enhancing transportation independence and safety in autistic adults.
  • The program demonstrated preliminary acceptability and appropriateness among participants.
  • Findings suggest the SRP can improve community access and quality of life for autistic adults by addressing transportation barriers.
