LIFE NEVER STOPS, AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU.

At General Motors, we know just how important mobility is if you have a disability. That’s why the GM Mobility Program offers a reimbursement of up to $1,000† towards the cost of adapting an eligible new Chevrolet. 

GETTING STARTED

Getting the vehicle you love adapted with the right equipment can be a simple process. To start, we recommend you:

OBTAIN AN EVALUATION OR VISIT YOUR MEDICAL PRACTITIONER

First find a driver assessment facility and arrange for a complete evaluation. There are a number of facilities across the country, but if you’re not sure where to find one, you can always get in touch with the Ministry of Transportation or contact us at the GM Mobility Program. Your assessment should include suggestions about your driving and a list of vehicle modification recommendations.

 

If you already know what kind of adaptive equipment you need, you won’t need an evaluation. Your equipment installer will only need a physician’s authorization form.

CONTACT THE PROVINCIAL MINISTRY OF TRANSPORTATION

In most provinces, people are required to report any changes in their medical status to the Provincial Ministry of Transportation. When you report a change in your medical status, the Ministry may conduct a medical review, and may need to alter your driving privileges for your safety. Also keep in mind that failure to report a change in your medical status may put your driver’s licence status in jeopardy altogether.

ELIGIBLE EQUIPMENT

To be eligible for a GM reimbursement for up to $1,000,† your adaptive equipment must be:

 

  • Permanently installed in an eligible vehicle
  • Installed for a driver or passenger with a permanent disability
  • Vehicle conversion must be completed for eligible participants within 12 months of the new vehicle purchase/lease date.

FIND A QUALIFIED EQUIPMENT INSTALLER

Before you choose an adaptive equipment dealer, shop around and ask about their qualifications, warranty, service practices and capabilities. Consider more than just the initial cost, and if you think it’s necessary, ask the company for a list of references. If you’re not sure where to find qualified installers in your area, the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association (NMEDA), your provincial rehabilitation services agency and the Ministry of Transportation are good sources of information.
GET TO KNOW NMEDA

NMEDA is a non-profit trade association of mobility equipment dealers, driver rehabilitation specialists, and other professionals dedicated to broadening the opportunities for people with disabilities. To make sure you have the chance to drive or be transported in a vehicle modified with adaptive equipment, they maintain an up-to-date list of dealers and installers across the country. Use the NMEDA search tool to find an adaptive equipment dealer near you.
