Disability.gov’s Guide to Transportation, info for People with Disabilities of all ages

Transportation plays a vital role in independent living for people with disabilities. Depending on where you live, your destination and physical needs, transportation choices might include paratransit, accessible taxis, public transportation or volunteer drivers from nonprofit organizations or state or local government agencies.

For information about disability parking placards, hang tags or license plates, contact your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles.

Here are a few “quick links” to get you started:

• Your state’s 2-1-1 information line
• Easter Seals guide to finding accessible transportation
• Your local Independent Living Center
• The Aging & Disability Resource Center (ADRC) for your area
