Measuring Your Wheelchair for an Adaptive Vehicle
When
modifying an adaptive vehicle, it is important that the correct
measurements of the person in the wheelchair be taken. This will ensure
that the correct modifications are done on your adaptive vehicle.

health care needs, should have access to proper resources for safe
transportation. We can help you understand the basic guidelines for

restraints in your vehicle. We have been helping families who have
children with special needs, since first opening our doors in 1986.
Every family is unique and we will take the time to listen and
understand your needs.
Veterans - What Ride-Away Does For Them
According to the United States Department of Veteran Affairs (www.va.gov),
of the 25 million veterans currently alive, nearly three out of every
four served during a war or an official period of hostility.
Additionally, about a quarter of the nation's population -
approximately 70 million people - are potentially eligible for VA
benefits and services because they are Veterans, family members, or
survivors of Veterans.
