abstract: 'People with disabilities tend to participate in fewer out-of-home

  activities, raising concerns about their well-being. This paper

  investigates travel and activity barriers faced by people with

  disabilities using data from the American Time Use Survey from 2008 to

  2019. Our dependent variable of interest is a measure of realized

  accessibility known as a travel time price: that is, the number of

  travel minutes associated with each minute of out-of-home activity time.

  In using this measure, we first confirm that out-of-home activities are

  associated with greater subjective wellbeing, that travel is associated

  with relatively low well-being, and that travel time prices are

  negatively associated with life satisfaction. We next find that people

  with disabilities typically pay a travel time price premium 50 percent

  higher than those without disabilities for all out-of-home activities,

  and 11 percent higher for work trips. These premiums narrow but persist

  when accounting for personal characteristics and travel mode. We discuss

  the unique contributions of simple linear and multiple regression

  results, given that disability is so closely linked to personal

  characteristics like employment, income, and marital status. We then

  disaggregate the results by type of disability and close by presenting

  ideas for removing transportation and activity barriers for the

  heterogenous population of people with disabilities.'
