Transportation | The Mommy Insider

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of NMEDA. All opinions are 100% mine.

My Grandmother is in a wheelchair. Which sometimes makes it difficult for her to get around to doctor appointments, the store and just out and about in general. We would a vehicle equipped to just roll the wheelchair in, strap it down and go. We would love to be able to get her out more. Transportation is the key to freedom and NMEDA help with that!

NMEDA stands for National Mobility Equipment Dealer Association. They are a non-profit trade association of mobility equipment dealers, manufacturers, driver rehabilitation specialists and other professionals dedicated to expanding opportunities for people with disabilities to drive or be transported in vehicles modified with mobility equipment. All members work together to improve transportation options of people with disabilities.

The organization promotes and supports individual members engaged in the modification of quality transportation for people with disabilities. Membership has grown to more than 600 members with the bulk of the membership located in the United States and Canada. All members are required to adhere to the safety standards of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and to follow the guidelines set by NMEDA.

Where do we start?

I know very little about what is out there to help people with disabilities to help be transported. But using the visit a NMEDA QAP (Quality Assurance Program) Dealer for mobility solutions locator, I can find dealerships in my area that can help with my Grandmother’s needs.

What is QAP?

Quality Assurance Program, or QAP, is a recognized accreditation program for the mobility equipment industry. The program was developed to promote quality, safety, and reliability within the industry.

All NMEDA QAP dealers offer 24 hour local emergency assistance, on-site sales and support, and they offer in-person individual evaluations.

If you buy a vehicle online on through a non NMEDA dealer, chances are you probably will not receive the same service.

“Many moms focus on getting their family where they need to go, and it’s important that preventive vehicle maintenance does not get overlooked in busy schedules,” said John Sanfacon, head of Marketing and Innovations at Jiffy Lube International. “The Jiffy Lube Gift Card provides convenience and value to a busy mom.” Exactly what moms need.

The Jiffy Lube survey found that 23 percent of women say their biggest pet peeve while driving is streaky wind shield wipers (I griped about my streaky wipers recently!), and nearly the same amount (22 percent) say it’s a squealing noise from the engine or brakes that won’t stop. The gift of preventive vehicle maintenance can help with all of Mom’s vehicle needs, and let her breathe a sigh of relief.

Consumers can purchase the Jiffy Lube Gift Card online at JiffyLube.com or at participating Jiffy Lube service centers across the United States.
