Wheelchair rides and mobility
Wheelchair users on Long Island can ride seated in their own chair in a lift or ramp vehicle, or transfer to a regular seat with a driver's help. Accessible taxis are scarce here, so most trips are booked ahead with a medical transportation provider. These guides cover the options and the practical side of moving safely.
