People with disabilities across Australia could enjoy increased mobility thanks to a new online platform giving them access to modified vehicles that would otherwise be lying idle.
The initiative, to be piloted in South Australia by the not-for-profit tech company Connecting Up as part of YourSAy’s “Share” initiative, aims to engage with disability service providers and transport providers to create a new “sharing portal” providing access to the vehicles.
It would enable companies, and individuals, to rent out their idle transport assets directly to disability service providers and primary caregivers.
Connecting Up, which provides critical support for 26,000 not for profits by providing access to affordable digital technology and software, will co-design, develop and market the new platform.
