The debut of the Siemens Venture Car on Amtrak's passenger rail service brings greater wheelchair accessibility to train travel in America.
A touching story. However, my biggest thought was why are these beach wheelchairs $5000?! They are cloth, bent metal tubes and inflatable tires! I know it is likely due few being manufactured so prices go up, but seriously, there are sooo many people and beaches that could use them but are likely turned off by the price……

Accessibility grant making lives better, organizations encouraged to chase theirs
Demi1 Comment-
Whoa, $5000 does seem excessive! I’ve seen some pretty sturdy looking wheelchair-style shower chairs (so they should already be waterproof) in only the 100’s of dollars, they don’t have the beach tires but I can’t imagine the bulk of the cost being the tires, I would think it retrofitting them wouldn’t be a big issue.
Hi there,
Not much to add as Joan did such a great job. As he mentioned, things are getting a bit more relaxed but still much stricter than other countries.
Also, @ohayotravel could give you the most accurate answer and also help arrange it for you. They are one of the best accessible travel operators in Japan.
Being seen is really important.

How one disabled hiker is clearing a path for others: 'I didn't see people who look like me'
Syren Nagakyrie wrote the book on disabled hiking. Here's what they wish other guidebooks and parks would include.
Anything you would add to this guide? Or is it really everything you need to know 😛
