A PROVEN PROCESS FOR GAINING FREEDOM ON THE ROAD
Lexus Hawai’i supports the U.S. Department of Transportation’s recommended process, which is detailed in the brochure “Adapting Motor Vehicles for People with Disabilities.” Copies are available by calling (888) 327-4236 or at www.nhtsa.gov.
The Process Includes These Steps:
1. Determine your state's driver's license requirements
2. Evaluate your needs
Contact a mobility equipment dealer in your area to identify the adaptive equipment most suited to your needs.
3. Select the right vehicle
Consult with your evaluator, an adaptive equipment installer and your local Lexus dealer to determine the best Lexus model to meet your needs.
4. Choose a qualified mobility equipment installer
Shop around and ask about qualifications, capabilities, experience, warranty coverage and service. Confirm they are members of the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association (NMEDA) or another organization that has established vehicle conversion standards.
5. Obtain training on the user of the new equipment
When this process is complete, follow the guidelines and complete and submit the attached application for assistance to recover up to $1,000 of the cost of your adaptive equipment and/or conversion.
Subject to advance written lessor approval. Note: Not all leasing companies will approve the installation of adaptive equipment, so be sure to check and obtain written approval first.
