Big thanks to MobilityWorks Woodinville! Great time last week at the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association (NMEDA) Manufacturer’s Service School (MSS), hosted by MobilityWorks! We were honored to be invited to present and offer hands-on training on an ATC-converted SUV. The technicians on-hand were amazing - asking great questions, diving right in and actively participating in the training sessions, and getting the chance to provide actual service to the vehicle. Our Director of Dealer Education and Training, Drew Landers, was highly impressed by everyone he met as a part of ATC’s grassroots Expert Dealer Program! This group of techs has now secured ATC Certified Technician status, which further expands the national footprint of those able to provide expert service for local ATC customers. Shoutout to Michael Hill at MobilityWorks and Amy Lane with NMEDA for putting it all together – we couldn’t do it without you! Can't wait for the next one, especially since ATC Mobility will be hosting at our facility in Roanoke this coming May! #MobilityWorks #HandsOnTraining #KeepingItReal #AutoTechLife

🌸 Happy International Women's Day! 🌸 Today, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and achievements of women everywhere—especially those in the mobility industry and the disability community. At NMEDA, we recognize and honor the women who advocate, innovate, and lead the way toward greater mobility independence. Your contributions make a difference every day! 💙

Last week, NMEDA was in Washington, DC, engaging with congressional members, staff, and the White House on various key issues. One major topic of discussion was tariffs and their potential impact on our members and the industry. We remain committed to monitoring these developments and advocating for our members, our industry, and, most importantly, those who rely on mobility vehicles.

Happy International Wheelchair Day! 🎉♿ Today, we celebrate the freedom and independence that wheelchairs and mobility solutions bring! At NMEDA, we're committed to ensuring wheelchair users have access to safe, reliable, and customized transportation through our dealer members and QAP program. Because mobility means more than just movement—it means freedom. 💙
