Handicap Parking - Don't Judge By Appearances

Lend A Helpful Hand, Not A Hurtful Heart

Not everyone who has a handicap parking permit has a visible handicap. By that, I mean they may not walk with a limp, use a cane or be in a wheelchair. Many disabilities are invisible to the eye.

People with cardiac and pulmonary disease are often winded by walking even short distances but they don't always walk with a walker or have an O2 tank. 

Whether or not you are able to see their disability, without the special reserved handicap spaces, simple tasks would be overwhelming, painful, if not impossible.

If you or a loved one have an "invisible disability" take a look at the Invisible Disability web site for information and education.

The MV-1 is a new type of vehicle. It was built with a purpose - to serve the needs of mobility -impaired and mobility challenged individuals. It comes wheelchair accessible. Unlike a van, it does not need to have expensive retrofit changes made to it - it comes ready to serve those who need assistance with their transportation needs. Orders are being taken now and these vehicles will be rolling off the production line in October of 2010.

The MV-1 is the only vehicle in its class with the option of an OEM engineered and assembled dedicated Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) powertrain system to ensure the same durability, reliability, and quality that fleets demand from gasoline powered vehicles.
