Safety Lights Available to Residents with Motorized Wheelchairs or Scooters

At the time of installation, residents will also be offered a free reflective safety flag at no cost.

The New Bedford Commission for Citizens with Disabilities has announced that it will make safety lights available to city residents with motorized wheelchairs or scooters to help improve safety for operators and motorists.

The Commission for Citizens with Disabilities will make the lights available at a cost of $5.00. To encourage participation, the first twenty residents who call and request the safety lights will receive the lights and assistance with their installation at no cost.

Residents may request a light by calling the Department of Community Services at (508) 979-3136.
