"My client has been using WoodGreen’s bus since becoming wheelchair-bound over a year ago. He has difficulty using Wheel-Trans due to a cognitive impairment that makes it challenging to arrange his own appointments.”

“Taxis are more expensive and not always as comfortable. I feel like I come first when the driver pulls up. I don’t know if I could get to my doctor appointments without the WoodGreen transportation.”
