Lesson 11:Housing Environments for Special purposes and Needs : Accessible

Trip Chain

One important concept for accessibility of the environment is that of the “trip chain”. A typical trip consists of many links. For example, to be able to go from home to a working place, a person has:

To go from home to sidewalk or pathway
To enter in a vehicle
To go out of the vehicle to sidewalks or pathways near the working place
To reach the entrance of the building
To enter the building
To move around in the building
To enter the office or other kind of place for work
To reach the working station

Each part could be divided in more details. If only one link is not accessible, then the journey becomes impossible. Each link must be considered and improved as necessary.
