The Interamerican Development Bank is translating AEI's guide, "Mobility for All: Accessible Transportation Around the World", into Portuguese for use in Brazil and other Portuguese-speaking countries. The guide will appear as the second of two parts of a larger publication titled "Overcoming Limitations: Making Transport Easier for Everyone" ("Superando Limitacoes: Facilitando o Transporte para Todos"), coordinated by Dr. Charles L. Wright, a Senior Economist with the Bank. The first part of the guide contains an introduction by Veronica Comisao and a case study of the city of Franca by Renato Boareto, both of Brazil, and other chapters by Charles Wright (USA), C.G.B. Mitchell (UK) and Trevor Smith (Canada), and Tom Rickert of AEI.
