Waka Transport
Help to get you where you want to go.
Find information about getting around your community and the country - whether that's on two, four, eight or no-wheels!
Transport is an important factor for our disability community because it helps us get out of the house, meet our daily needs (e.g. get to work, school, or the grocery store), and engage in the community. Whether you drive yourself around, catch public transport (buses, trains, ferries), or uses taxis to get from A to B, there is information here to help you.
Here you can also discover funding options for transport, the ins and outs of vehicle modification, and travel agencies all about taking disabled people on adventures.
