TransparencyTrailAble: A Mobility Demo Day
Spending time outdoors is great for
mental and physical health but for people living with
disabilities or limited mobility, outdoor activities aren’t
always accessible. Please join
Placer Land Trust for a special day to give people with
disabilities access to the outdoors on Sunday, March 22
from 10:00 am – 1:00 pm provided by McIlwain
Mobility Solutions. This local organization, committed to
providing resources for independent living, is making available a
large variety of mobility devices to “test drive” outdoors.
These devices may include:
- Trackchair Axis 40
- Trackchair Axis 30
- TrackStander TR
- EcoRover 29.5 Wide
- EcoRover 40.5
- Traxx Rover, Zoom Chair
- OMEO Wheelchair with Offroad Package
- Swincar Single
- Swincar Tandum
Who can participate?
This event is for anyone who is disabled and want to spend time outdoors and people who support them. Participants must be at least 16 years old to demonstrate the devices, but friends and family of all ages are welcome. Participants will also need to be able to transfer on their own, or with the assistance of their guardian/caregiver. Sorry, no dogs are allowed unless they are service animals due to the potential conflicts with livestock and wildlife.
