OCT. 30 LIVE WEBINAR: Road and Rail trips for wheelchair users

Not all trips require a flight and wheelchair users can gain a new perspective on America by taking a road trip or traveling by rail. The Americans with Disabilities Act guarantees that travelers with disabilities receive equal treatment under the law. Wheelchair users need to consider their travel options. Administration for Community Living's Paralysis Resource Center (managed by the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation) will be hosting a webinar on Wed., Oct. 30th at 11 a.m. PT about traveling by road or on a train for individuals living with paralysis.

Traveling by plane may be the quickest source of transportation but it’s not always the most efficient way to travel when considering all factors as a wheelchair user. This presentation will stress the importance and available options of traveling by car or train as there are aspects people living with paralysis should consider before taking a trip. This includes the advantages and disadvantages of both modes of travel and amenities travelers are entitled to receive as they travel to their desired destination.

The webinar will be hosted by John Morris, a field expert and an advocate for accessible travel. Included in the webinar will be topics such as destinations available through railways and roadways, road trips with a vehicle, intercity bus services and train travel in the U.S.
