Accessible transport for veterans in Ukraine
MISSION:
- To provide safe, dignified, and accessible transportation for veterans.
VISION:
- We believe that everyone should have the freedom to move, access care, and fully participate in community life.
INITIATIVE:
- This project is a joint initiative supported by Ukrainian
institutions and international partners.
We are building a system-level solution that integrates
transportation into the broader recovery and
rehabilitation ecosystem.
THE PROBLEM:
For many veterans in Ukraine, mobility is one of the biggest daily challenges.
Public and private transport systems are not adapted for people with injuries. Wheelchair users often cannot enter vehicles, and even when they can, there is no guarantee of safety or proper assistance.
Drivers are not trained to support people with trauma, injuries, or limited mobility.
This creates a chain reaction:
Missing medical records
Interrupted rehabilitation
Loss of independence
Social isolation
A dedicated accessible taxi service
We are creating a specialized transportation service designed for veterans and people affected by the war.
The service includes:
- Wheelchair-accessible vehicles;
- Trained and compassionate drivers;
- Door-to-door assistance.
HOW IT WORKS
Simple | Coordinated | Reliable
1. Booking a ride
Trips can be scheduled in advance, especially for medical appointments.
2. Pick-up and assistance
Drivers assist passengers from door to vehicle, ensuring safe boarding.
3. Safe transportation
Vehicles are equipped for secure and comfortable travel.
4. Arrival and support
Passengers are assisted to their destination, whether it’s a clinic, rehabilitation center, or home.
Support:
Accessible transportation is an essential part of recovery, rehabilitation, and reintegration.
