Right. That was what I was saying.

I didn't get into that issue, but it's a major one, and not just for people confined to a wheelchair who might be able to get assistance through government sponsored programs, but also people with certain types of PTSD, Autism, ADHD, anxiety issues, etc., (including lots of veterans) or people with vision issues or other disabilities that aren't considered "enough" of a disability to get help, but make it difficult or impossible to drive.
