Definition of social mobility Motability is a national charity which aims to enhance the lives of disabled people with their personal mobility. Our vision is that no disabled person should be disadvantaged due to poor access to transportation. We help people to enjoy the freedom and independence to work, to learn, to get to appointments and to see family and friends. We provide a range of grants to help people with a range of disabilities and we oversee the Motability Scheme (‘the Scheme’), through which some disabled people can use enhanced mobility benefits to lease a car, scooter or powered wheelchair. The Scheme is operated for us on a contract basis by Motability Operations Ltd.

Mobility scooters can be useful if you struggle to walk or are disabled, need to travel long distances, and are able to get on and off a mobility scooter easily. How to get a scooter At a time of growth and of new opportunities for the charity, we warmly welcome SSAC’s work on how public funds can be used to support the mobility needs of disabled people. We know that for those whose needs it meets, the Scheme has a positive impact and offers good value for money. But we also know that there are other disabled people whose mobility needs are not met by the scheme, and for whom other solutions need to be developed. The Motability Scheme: impact on the lives of disabled people whether you'll be able to steer it (some have special levers to steer them if you have arthritis in your hands) Beyond this, as a charity we also offer grants to customers who need more expensive adaptations such as wheelchair swivel seats or electronic controls, either when they first lease a vehicle or part way through the lease. This is explained below. The Motability Scheme: eligible non-customersLease costs were, on average, 44 per cent cheaper in May 2018 for Motability customers than in the wider leasing market. Around two fifths of this difference arises from the direct impact of the tax concessions from which the Scheme benefits. Three fifths is generated from factors such as effective commercial management of the Scheme, strong partnerships with maintenance and repair suppliers, and through economies of scale.
