Press Release: The Challenges of Commuting for Individuals with Disabilities
In the latest episode of "Toll of Commuting," News 12’s Amanda Eustice sheds light on the unique challenges faced by those with disabilities while commuting. This week, the focus is on Danielle Skyora, a blind woman from Oxford, who expertly navigates her daily journey with the help of her guide dog, Jackie.
Skyora, a registered dietitian working in Lincoln Park, demonstrates resilience and ingenuity as she travels to her job. Her commute involves being driven to the Hackettstown train station, boarding a train, and making a transfer at another station. Upon reaching her destination, she undertakes a nearly mile-long walk, maneuvering through intersections, up hills, and along routes where sidewalks are absent.
Skyora’s story highlights the significant barriers people with disabilities encounter daily. Despite the obstacles, she remains determined to pursue her career and live life to the fullest. This report underscores the need for improved infrastructure and support systems to ensure safer and more accessible commuting experiences for individuals with disabilities in our communities.
