Accessible Transportation

The Washington Convention Center and the meeting hotels are conveniently located within close proximity to one another. Enjoy some fresh air and get an up close view of the city. Walking directions (also great for wheelchair users) from all APHA Hotels to the Washington Convention Center are available.
Due to the large size of the APHA Annual Meeting, sessions are sometimes spread out and distances between sessions can be considerable. If you are a regular wheelchair user, bring your wheelchair with you. If you can get along without a wheelchair but feel that you may need one to navigate the distances at the Convention Center, electric scooters can be rented from ScootAround or other similar suppliers for around $300 per week. A list of companies that rent wheelchairs or scooters in the Washington, DC area can be found in the Accessibility Guide.
