Ford Mobility Motoring Process
There are many models of Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles that can be adapted to meet the requirements of persons with physical disabilities. The Ford Mobility Motoring Program provides a straightforward process for selecting and adding adaptive equipment to a new Ford, Lincoln or Mercury vehicle.
Follow four simple steps to begin your driving independence.
Assess Your Driving Needs
Obtain a driver evaluation from a Driver Assessment Center to ensure that modifications and equipment are appropriate for your individual driving skills.
A comprehensive evaluation may include:
- Sensory motor functions
- Cognitive processing
- General knowledge
- On-road performance evaluation in an appropriately modified vehicle
- A review of your medical and driving history as well as driver's
license status
Assessment centers can write "prescriptions" for required adaptive equipment. A prescription can also help assure that the equipment installed is eligible for Ford Mobility Motoring assistance.
Many centers offer adaptive equipment training, and all provide useful information concerning mobility transportation needs.
Know Your State's Driving Laws
Check with your state motor vehicle agency to learn about requirements for driving with adaptive equipment. State licensing laws vary considerably. Most states require special training before issuing a driver's license for drivers of vehicles with adaptive equipment. Some states also require that changes in physical condition, which may affect driving, be reported. As with any driver, failure to comply with state licensing laws can threaten your driving privileges.
Gather Adaptive Equipment Information
Find a mobility equipment dealer that is experienced and qualified to make a well suited equipment fit for your vehicle before purchasing.
