COMPASSIONATE CAREGIVING. LOCAL. TRUSTED. HERE FOR YOU.
We are excited to announce that Community Alternatives was awarded this All-Star Series vehicle through the WI DOT 5310 Grant. This is a 14 passenger vehicle which will be used to transport persons with disabilities to and from work, to scheduled appointments and events. The grant process took over a year. As you can see below, Marilyn (our bus driver) and the entire Community Alternatives organization is excited to provide this service to this community that we serve. (see photo below)
There are over 54 million Americans with disabilities. 2015 was the ADA’s 25th Anniversary and what a long way we have come. One of the challenges we face in Shawano is transportation for people in wheelchairs. Community Alternatives is working with local resources (Menominee Transit and City Cab) until we are able to acquire vans back from Shawano County and obtain Wisconsin DOT 5310 Grant vehicle (September-October). We have joined the City/County Transportation Committee to make others aware that there is a need for expansion in this area.
