Arizona Vocational Rehabilitation (AZ VR) has many services relating to Assistive Technology. Vehicle Modifications is only one of the many services AZ VR can provide for our qualifying clients. Transportation is one of the largest barriers to people with disabilities. Today’s employment market is usually a shared in-person and/or virtual environment. Currently in Arizona, there are trains, buses, taxis, Dial-a Ride and other private or non-profit funded services. Unfortunately, there is either a lack of those services or those services do not meet the needs of the client. I have discovered especially in remote areas transportation services are either non-existent or too expensive. Join me in exploring your driving options.
