Disabled people - motability scheme

The Shropshire County Council Motability Scheme was established to provide disabled people with safe, reliable and affordable cars. Cars account for 99% of the Scheme's activities, with powered wheelchairs and scooters making up the balance.

The Scheme works only because it brings together a number of essential elements:

• The Government (Department for Work and Pensions)
• Motability (the registered charity empowered by its Royal Charter)
• Motability Operations (owned by the UK's largest banks), operating the car Schemes on a not-for-profit basis
• Route2mobility Ltd ('r2m'), a privately owned company which operates the powered wheelchair and scooter scheme
• Manufacturers of cars, powered wheelchairs and scooters
• Car dealers and dealers in powered wheelchairs and scooters
• Specialist vehicle adaptation companies
• Insurance and roadside assistance providers
