if it's community transportation (a paratransit system) and you meet the guidelines (forms filled by MD/ financial limits) you are entitled to the system if ANY goverment $ pays for it.  What state?
Call your local ILC?

I would like to find out how others handle some situations. I have been turned down by community transportation I applied because my lift in my Van needs repair and it's not safe to use. Community transport denied me saying I had access to a Van. I've explained over and over the lift is in need of repair and I'm on a limited income and cannot afford the repairs. Their position is that it's not their problem and I must use private transport. I've called one private company to arrange a trip to the doctor and back and was told the trip would cost me $740. For a 16 mile trip. I haven't tried private ambulance yet that's next.

I decided to use my own transportation till it leaves me stranded. My question is does anyone have any ideas about how one could get themselves home when personal transportation breaks down?
