BraunAbility vs Tappy Guide

RATE PARKING BraunAbility has introduced the FIRST-EVER accessible parking rating feature, allowing anyone to express satisfaction – or dissatisfaction – with accessible parking conditions at the locations they visit. Even if you own a wheelchair van, driving to a location with poor accessible parking accommodations serves as a reminder to even the most independent wheelchair user that independence doesn’t come easy. Through this app, BraunAbility is rating satisfaction of accessible parking across the United States and Canada. Simply click ‘happy’ or ‘sad’ to reflect the parking accommodations at your current location, and then select your supporting reasons. We’ll track and collect the accessible parking satisfaction and share with media and publish in our annual State of Inclusion report card to draw more awareness to the issue. THE DRIVING FORCE Drive for Inclusion is BraunAbility’s movement for a more mobility-inclusive world, and The Driving Force is the fuel that makes it run. The online community unites the voices of people with mobility challenges and their caregivers to drive education and action toward a more mobility-inclusive world. Members will be invited to participate in surveys and polls and take action for accessibility and inclusion. BraunAbility will collect the feedback and publish as part of an annual Drive for Inclusion Report Card. Read more about these initiatives, including how to join, via this app. BRAUNABILITY PRODUCTS Through the BraunAbility app you can view product videos, locate your nearest BraunAbility dealer, and find out how to rent a wheelchair van.
