  6.0 Transportation

People with MS have access to their communities through accessible public transportation and assistive technology for personal automobiles.

Mobility for people with MS can be greatly enhanced when they continue to drive or when alternative transportation is available. People with MS may have difficulty with transportation because of their functional disabilities, cognitive impairment and use of mobility aids, yet public transportation, often their only available resource, is sometimes not available or difficult to use. Lack of transportation can mean that people with MS remain inside their homes, inhibiting their ability to participate in life in the community.

6.1. Services should be available to enable people with MS to continue driving their own cars as long as possible, if desired. Ref 3,6,15,17,30,47,124,165

6.2. For people with MS who cannot or do not drive, accessible transportation services must be available and affordable. Ref 3,6,35,47
