W, this is interesting. I never considered any of this, however I have no problems with it. If I am a passenger in my chair, which is rare, it is a little close to the top of my head. I guess I don't really care what ADA requires if it works for me. Am I missing something really important he
This may be difficult to believe, but its true. I've had a couple

The van you purchased was built as a transporter, not as a driver
unit. The distance between the factory ceiling and floor would not begin
to meet the Federal ADA Requirement.

I'm paying for mine out of pocket - 450 a month. always bought my own

I bought a 2003 ford e 150 chateau. This is the top of the line ford full size van. It came with a lift already insttalled but brand new because the intewnded owner died before it was ever driven. Anyway, all I had to add was hand controls, a power sliding door actuator and a transfer seat.

Your State will not allow you to drive again until you have been
re-evaluated by a certified occupational therapist with drivers training
certification. You will be tested with various equipment to determine the
