NMEDA Celebrates 9th Annual National Mobility Awareness Month

The non-profit association highlights how people living with disabilities persevere and triumph

TAMPA, FL / ACCESSWIRE / April 27, 2021 / “Say Hello to New Destinations” as National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association (NMEDA) celebrates the 9th Annual National Mobility Awareness Month.

This annual event is designed to educate seniors, veterans, caregivers, partners in the community, and people with disabilities about wheelchair accessible vehicles and the many adaptive mobility equipment options available to live an active, mobile lifestyle.

“We are excited to continue our support of National Mobility Awareness Month,” says Danny Langfield, NMEDA’s Chief Executive Officer. “This is a great opportunity for not only our partners but also the community to get involved and highlight mobility solutions which greatly impact those around us.”

One in seven adults in the United States and Canada have mobility challenges, and four-fifths of wheelchair users report that their local public transportation system is difficult to use or get to.

During the month of May, NMEDA shines light on the many automotive mobility solutions available for people with disabilities, including everything from safety features and driving accessories to wheelchair accessible vehicles and more.

This year’s theme, Say Hello to New Destinations, encourages fewer boundaries and more possibilities. There will be virtual events held by NMEDA members and a forum on NMEDA’s Facebook page where people can share their stories, participate, and support awareness online.
