Travel in and around Virginia Beach is shaped by the expectation of driving a personal vehicle. Nevertheless, there are many people who, for one reason or another, cannot do this. Their reasons are as varied as being too young to drive legally or too old to drive comfortably, too poor to afford a car or too poor a driver to keep a license. Some disabilities make driving impossible while others simply require accommodations. For many of those who cannot drive, the size of Virginia Beach makes walking or biking unrealistic solutions. The common thread for all these populations is dependence on public transit if available or on friends and family. This often makes economic independence unreachable and social isolation likely. |
