Lack of Transport

     People with no viable mode of transport can’t travel to work, go shopping, attend school, make a doctor’s appointment or visit friends. Because the U.S. has focused on manufacturing cars and building highways rather than public transportation, people with disabilities have few choices with regard to transportation and are left behind. Of the 2 million people with disabilities who remain house-bound, 560,000 can’t leave the home because they have no means of transportation, according to The American Association of People with Disabilities.
