      E-Bike? E-Scooter? That’s easier than walking depending on how far away you park.

        E-Bike? E-Scooter?

        Not when there is a 6 lane freeway between you and your destination.

        Well, neverminding the 12.2 mile distance, my only option besides a freeway would be a road that is four lane with no sidewalks (it’s technically suburban but for most of the way there’s only the occasional house or business, so I would be in the right lane all the way) with a speed limit of 45 and no street lights.

        As a wheelchair user, I’d have to use a four-wheel device. I don’t know the range on those because I don’t own one.

            The Amtrak ticket would only be $11, although I’d have to leave at 11:50pm the night before AND the bus doesn’t carry wheelchairs anyway. heh. Paratransit doesn’t run early enough, either.

        Not everywhere yet, but there are growing regulations and outright bans of e-bikes across US municipalities.
