In our research, we examined the strength of the relationship between insufficient transportation and students with disabilities’ mental health. We surveyed a sample of 52 undergraduate students with disabilities from an introductory psychology research methods course. 

There was a non-significant weak positive correlation between the mental health of students with disabilities and insufficient transportation, and a non-significant association between the mental health of able-bodied students and insufficient transportation. This means that there was no relationship between the mental health of students with disabilities and insufficient transportation, and no relationship between able-bodied students and insufficient transportation. 

Further research should continue to explore the relationship between insufficient transportation and students with disabilities, since students with disabilities struggle with day-to-day activities and it can impact their mental health if they aren’t being supported.
