How will the youth get around in the community?
For many people with disabilities, the inability to travel from place to place without assistance is a significant barrier. It impacts their ability to explore the community, interact with friends and family, and engage in hobbies. Learning to get around on their own is a key aspect of preparing to live independently.
Transportation is about understanding the available options, getting a driver's permit and license or practicing using public and app-based options, and then using transport as independently as possible. It also includes:
Use Minnesota transit links from the American Public Transportation Association to help youth identify public transportation options available in their community.
Check out Minnesota's driver's license information from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety to help youth identify steps to get a driver's permit and license.
Review The Arc Minnesota's transportation resources page, and help youth navigate MinnesotaHelp.info's transportation resources.
