We live in an era when society is finally trying to open all doors to all people, with every kind of impairment or limitation. Yet, most people with disabilities who live in Rural America continue to be isolated, frustrated, and cut off from any possibility of going to work or school, visiting family or friends, participating in community life, or tending to their health needs, all because of the lack of adequate transportation.
