William Bell Award
In 1992, the Committee on Accessible Transportation and Mobility (ABE60) established the William G. Bell Award (Award) to honour the memory of our good friend, mentor and leader in the field of accessible transportation and mobility, Dr. William G. Bell. His dedication and commitment to the field of accessible transportation generated and established the national conferences that have been held since 1974. In addition, Dr. Bell initiated and established the successful international conferences on accessible transportation that continue to be held throughout the world.
The Committee on Paratransit (APO60), which also promotes increased mobility through more specialized forms of transit, has also joined in co-sponsoring the award.
