Endless Highway has launched a new initiative to help break down one of the most persistent barriers faced by people who use mobility devices: reliable transportation. Too often, community members have shared stories of delayed buses, cancelled rides, or no one available to help with transfers—leaving sports, recreation, arts, and social opportunities out of reach.
The new Keys to Freedom Program will provide up to $40,000 per grant cycle to help full-time wheelchair users purchase and customize their own wheelchair-accessible vehicles. In partnership with Tim’s Trim, Inc., Rochester’s certified accessible vehicle dealer, recipients will also receive support with vehicle identification, adaptive equipment assessments, financing, and ongoing maintenance planning.
The first grant cycle opened on August 23, and applications are being accepted through September 30, at 5 p.m. Learn more and apply at https://endless-highway.org/keystofreedom/.
