Notes on Wheelchairs and Additional Mobility or Medical Devices
Wheelchairs – NEA uses wheelchairs in the convention center to assist delegates with mobility or accessibility needs to and from the Representative Assembly. These chairs are shared and not assigned to individual delegates.
Scooter and Electric Wheelchair Storage: You may store your scooter in the Accessibility Services Office each night starting July 3rd until the meeting ends on July 7th, if space permits. Keep in mind the Accessibility Services Office structure is a temporary build and not a high security storage area. If you plan to transport your rented mobility scooter to the center from your hotel, please indicate this in the registration questions so that we can try to accommodate your scooter without disrupting service. We aim to avoid surprises at the curb to retain the quality of service.
Scooters on NEA Shuttles – As a safety precaution, riders are not permitted to remain on scooters when traveling on NEA shuttles. They must transfer to bus seats before buses depart. Drivers will be instructed to enforce this policy, and riders’ cooperation is appreciated.
