Californians for Smart Fueling

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!

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.

@KumiROCKS Happy birthday!

[Californians for Smart Fueling @SmartFueling]

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.

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.

@sexAbled @KumiROCKS @EnergyDelivered Hello Robin! Mobile fueling is a truck with a tank specifically meant for holding gas that directly comes to you to fuel you up. There are companies in place that already do this like one of our partners @EnergyDelivered. Let us know if you have any more questions!.

[Californians for Smart Fueling @SmartFueling]

@plattner_lisa Hello! Thank you for your comment and we’re so sorry to hear about your experiences at the gas station. We’re working hard to change that experience into something positive by making fueling accessible. We hope you’ll be able to join us. Sent you more info in your DM!

[Californians for Smart Fueling @SmartFueling]

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. https://t.co/5isMk6fKL1

[Californians for Smart Fueling @SmartFueling]

$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!

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 👏

@wedbeddead @EnergyDelivered @AbilitiesExpo If you would like more information please see this video of disability rights advocates going to the gas station and discussing the difficulties.https://t.co/h8D43K1SeX

Shoutout to our partner Booster(@EnergyDelivered) who gave attendees at the @AbilitiesExpo a boost. We love seeing #accessible fueling.

[Californians for Smart Fueling @SmartFueling]

@wedbeddead @EnergyDelivered @AbilitiesExpo Flossie, gas stations w 2+ attendants have to give accommodations to drivers w disabilities. Whether the assistance button is functional, attendants are on-site, or it’s wheelchair accessible is a different story.We are not asking for taxes, gifts, or donations. We are advocates.

[Californians for Smart Fueling @SmartFueling]

@mactavish Sorry to hear about your experience @mactavish. We have heard similar from our advocates and hope that we can bring legislation next year to fix this problem.

[Californians for Smart Fueling @SmartFueling]

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.

[The Leadership Conference @civilrightsorg]

Disability rights are civil and human rights.

Don't forget it.

[Californians for Smart Fueling @SmartFueling]

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 https://t.co/FbTqdn8kPY
