Tri County CAP's Transportation Division is in Need of a Power Chair and Scooter

Published Date

TAMWORTH — CAP's Transit Division provides senior, disabled, low income, and general public transportation services to the residents of Coos, Carroll, and Grafton counties. To ensure safe practices are met each driver receives training in Emergency Evacuation, Defensive Driving, and Passenger Assistance which includes how to safely secure a passenger and their wheelchair or mobility device in our accessible vehicles.
Tri-County CAP is hoping someone may have a power chair and a scooter they would like to donate to the transit division that can be used for training purposes. The chair and scooter do not have to be in working condition but must be intact.
Buses are wheelchair accessible allowing those residents who use mobility devises to travel to medical appointments, grocery shopping and social activities helping them to maintain their independence, dignity, and well being. Because there is a variety of wheelchairs, power chairs, and scooters being used today by the public, securing the devices becomes difficult without the actual devices to learn on.
The Transportation Division hopes to have a power chair and scooter donated to use for the required trainings. Anyone that would have a chair or scooter they are not using and would like to donate it to CAP can contact Beverly Raymond at 752-1741 or by email at This email address is being protected from spambots.
