Californians for Smart Fueling
@SmartFueling
Our coalition is urging Californians to support mobile fueling because people with disabilities need an alternative to the gas station.

Great news! AB 2563 has unanimously passed the Assembly Natural Resources Committee. Thank you to @asmbillquirk for authoring this bill. Your leadership will ensure equitable access to fueling for 8 million Californians with disabilities!
A HUGE THANK YOU to the Asm. Natural Resources Committee for ensuring access to fueling for Californians with disabilities and unanimously passing AB 2563 @heathfloraca @asmgarcia @laurafriedman43 @AD26mathis @asmkevinmccarty @assemblyseyarto @admmarkstone @JimWoodAD2
In a momentous hearing on Monday, legislation to make fueling more accessible for drivers with disabilities moved AB 2563 and CA one step forward. Thank you @laurafriedman43 and @AsmBillQuirk for your leadership.

Ordering fuel from the palm of your hand is available today, and able to save #DriversWithDisabilities time, frustration, and miles traveled to get service. Let’s secure #Accessible fueling for the millions of Americans with disabilities. argusleader.com/story/news/201…

Getting fuel with a disability: Not as easy as pushing a button
Russell Eagleman has pumped his own gas since losing his left leg to diabetes two years ago.
Over 5 years later and stories like these are just as common. We need new solutions that give drivers with disabilities the flexibility and independence they deserve. eastbaytimes.com/2016/03/16/pet…
Under the ADA, gas stations with 2+ attendants must assist drivers with disabilities. How often do you see gas stations with more than one attendant? Let’s pass legislation that makes fueling up easier for everyone. ada.gov/gasserve.htm
$1.75B of the infrastructure bill will go toward making transit stations available. That's a big step, and people with disabilities have been waiting for it. We think it can get even better, help us advocate for options that increase accessibility! cbsnews.com/news/infrastru…

New infrastructure funding will help expand access to transit for people with disabilities
The provision was spearheaded by Senator Tammy Duckworth, a double amputee who cannot use subway stations that don't have a working elevator.
Roughly 20% of transit stations in the U.S. are not ADA compliant. Can you believe it?! This is a basic need for millions of Americans, and drivers with #disabilities don’t fare better. Say it with us: MAKE 👏 TRANSPORTATION 👏 ACCESSIBLE 👏

Shoutout to our partner Booster(@EnergyDelivered) who gave attendees at the @AbilitiesExpo a boost. We love seeing #accessible fueling.
Disability rights are civil and human rights. Don't forget it.
Gas stations remain among the most inaccessible public places. The ADA brought us a long way, but accessible fueling options are still missing for the nearly 800,000 Californians with a mobility disability.
Despite progress made from the ADA, it’s astonishing what people “with disabilities go through, just to try and get to work or school or shopping,” - @SenDuckworth. Let’s invest in making all aspects of mobility #accessible washingtonpost.com/transportation…
As we advocate for more #accessibility, we also celebrate the achievements made. BIG congratulations to coalition member @UnitedSpinal on 75 years! #75YearsUnited
"I worked with Eastern Paralyzed Veterans in the 1960s. #UnitedSpinal has grown and is a national organization we look up to for guidance and leadership. I hope you have another 75 years of being assertive spokespersons for disabled people in the United States." @judithheumann
Disappointed in the California legislature’s lack of action with AB905 despite 5,000+ letters & action by disability rights advocates. @laurafriedman43 the future of fueling should include mobile fuel delivery. Fueling must be accessible to all Californians.
“There are many people with disabilities who don’t drive because of the accessibility barriers they face, including at gas stations. This is a problem that needs more awareness.” - @spazgirl11 Learn how AB 905 will help address some of these barriers: californiansforsmartfueling.com
“I would hope that [mobile fueling] would be important to everyone… to help those [with disabilities] who can drive.” - Mercy, Student Activist Support independence, support AB 905.
“A person with a disability has to plan almost everything about their life that you probably don’t even think about. ... we spend more time planning things than we do being able to just be independent.” - @RollingStartInc's ED Lisa Hayes Support independence, support AB 905.
The ADA requires gas stations to provide reasonable accommodations, but many stations struggle to follow the rules. Mobile fueling is the most accessible solution for drivers with disabilities. californiansforsmartfueling.com
