Eligibility: Registered users are eligible for Wheel-Trans based on their level of physical functional mobility in the home, within the area immediately surrounding the home, and in the community at large, as well as permanency of disability. Eligibility is not based on particular disabilities, general health or income. All Wheel-Trans applicants, regardless of mobility status, are required to attend an in-person interview so that we may determine eligibility.
