Toyota
Mobility Foundation Launches Innovation Hub for Accessibility
Startups
The Toyota Mobility Foundation made headlines a few years ago when
it ran a challenge for mobility product companies with a $1 million
top prize. Their current endeavor to foster accessibility-product
startups may not offer the same eye-popping cash award, but it
could have an even greater impact. The aim is to help companies
make the difficult jump from promising prototype to sustainable
business.

Being able
to drive your own vehicle is a major key to independence for many
wheelchair users. But how do you pay for a modified vehicle that
can come with a $60K-100K price tag? We share how other wheelchair
users have pieced together vehicle funding via voc rehab,
tax-deductible crowdfunding, manufacturer rebates and accessibility
grants. We also link to the best web resources and offer expert
advice from United Spinal Association’s Resource Center.
