TCRP A-33A Final Report 33 CHAPTER 4 Conclusions and Recommendations for Further Study Conclusions The results of this study suggest the value of pictograms in emergency communications in buses and paratransit, and, indeed, the value for non-emergency circumstances, as well. Clearly, this study is just a first examination at the possibilities, with an enormous range of opportunities for further exploration.

TCRP A-33A Final Report 35 help develop an educational/public awareness effort for the use of pictograms to assist people with communication challenges to navigate the transit system. Recommendations for Further Study Available funding and time necessarily limited the scope of this research, but the work yielded results that are very promising.

TCRP A-33A Final Report 36 This would be very good research for a University Transportation Center (UTC) to undertake because it would lend well to academic inquiry, analysis, and reporting and to the engagement of students as primary researchers.
