Transportation options; the glue between health and housing for the disable community

Outside of affordable health care, the second most important issue for the disability community is transportation! Transportation is needed for medical appointments, work, and life in general. The third most important issue is housing; so another way of thinking about access to transportation is not the second most important issue, it is the glue between health and the home. 

But what kind of transportation?

• Traditional Taxi; mini vans with modifications and wheelchair transfer board friendly Sedan model;
• Non-medical transportation; and 
• Para transit. 

I don't just tell you about transportation options if you are disable, I give you a real life experience of my bad trip with Barwood taxi of montgomery county, Maryland. You won't believe what happened to me and you will have an insight of how the transportation options became both a good and bad option when I tried to travel to Orlanda, Florida for the #Podfest conference. But you will also learn how to file a complaint and how to avoid trouble when ordering a handicap taxi.
