TRAIL

TRAIL (Transportation Resource to Aid Independent Living) has been integral to the success of both Adaptive Recreation and Learning Exchange (AR&LE) by providing rides to selected AR&LE programs.  TRAIL is a non-profit service organization formed in 1990 by parents, consumers and professionals.  TRAIL's mission is to provide transportation to adults with disabilities who live in Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Edina and Richfield and are living independently/semi-independently without transportation on the premises.  See current AR&LE class catalog for more information on AR&LE and TRAIL.
