Guide to Rideshares and Public Transportation Safety for People with Disabilities
Public transportation is necessary for many folks. For others, it might be a way to save a few bucks, skip traffic, or help the environment. Whatever the case, the safety risks loom larger for people with disabilities. Rideshares bring similar safety concerns, too.
Safe Home.org published an online guide that covers various approaches people with disabilities can take, whether they ride buses, subways, Uber, Lyft, or something else entirely. It offers ideas for communication, physical protection, technology, and much more. Accessibility is a big theme throughout since a lack of accessibility means a lack of safety.
