-Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) has been advocating for accessibility for Veterans and all people with disabilities for decades, and now, as part of their 75th anniversary, they re asking for the public s help with a common problem.
In a recent survey of 4,000 Americans with disabilities, 95% said that accessible parking was key to their independence, and 85% said they had trouble finding accessible parking in their communities. More than half (52%) reported having to turn back from an errand or appointment because they were unable to find an open handicapped accessible parking space. Some of the biggest problems were spots taken by people who don t really need them, but make an excuse, and the misuse or borrowing of handicapped placards.
/PRNewswire/ Paralyzed Veterans of America today announced that U.S. Marine Corps. veteran Charles Brown, who previously served as PVA s national senior.
