Transportation & Mobility
Recovery Resources for Transportation and Mobility
People with disabilities often rely on public transportation systems or social support systems for their daily transportation needs, such as:
- Community organizations,
- Churches,
- Friends, or
- Family members.
Disasters may cause interruptions in both public transportation and social support systems. For individuals with disabilities, lack of accessible transportation after a disaster may be a barrier to recovery.
