These self-driving buses give us a glimpse at the future of accessible transportation.

They have:

1. Easy to use access ramps

2. Loud speakers and screens to show stops

3. Space for up to 12 passengers

“This is so cool.”

Self-driving vehicles are a convenience for most people,

but life-changing for people with disabilities.

They could enable 2 million individuals with disabilities to enter the workforce.

Accessible conversion vehicles can be very expensive,

but options like these buses can help make transportation more affordable.

And accessible transportation doesn’t just help those with disabilities,

it helps everyone.

So let’s make accessibility a priority for self-driving cars.

“I see true independence and freedom on the horizon for millions of people. Let’s all do our part to make it happen.” – Karin Willison, Disability Editor, The Mighty
