Public transport is one of the most affordable forms of passive transport, supporting the life habits such as activities of daily living and social roles. Despite the potential benefits of public transit, adults with disabilities have restricted access to this mode of transportation due to factors such as limited knowledge of the transit system, travel skills and self-efficacy, for which travel training can be implemented. This systematic review examined the influence of travel training programs on knowledge, self-efficacy, travel skills and public transportation use among adults with disabilities and described their respective components. The search was carried out in Transport Database, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Embase and Web of science from January 1990 to December 2023 (update performed 09/2024). Covidence software was used for article selection and data extraction, performed independently by two reviewers. The Template for Intervention Description and Replication (Tidier) and Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) were respectively used to extract intervention details and to assess methodological quality. We used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines to report results. Of 5,104 citations retrieved, 12 were included in this review. Regardless the component used (combined didactic and practical, single hands-on approach, and assistive technologies with/without simulation), all included studies reported improvements in outcomes (e.g., knowledge, travel skills, self-efficacy, frequency of the public transport use) after travel training interventions. Although findings suggest travel training is promising, only one study demonstrated causal effect in randomized controlled trial. Therefore, findings should be interpreted with caution.
