The Stream by AASHTO podcast features an interview with Alan Hejl, founder of Spark Access, a company that helps people with disabilities gain more mobility options.

In this episode, Hejl explains the mission of Spark Access is to foster more awareness, accessibility, and inclusion for the disabled community within the mobility industry, and how his work at General Motors helped open his eyes to the wide range of mobility issues people with disabilities face.

Other topics include how different kinds of disabilities can impact transportation options, how transportation systems are often built with the needs of disabled travelers as an afterthought, and how autonomous vehicles can offer the disabled greater travel opportunities if they meet their accessibility needs.
