Lawrence group aids head injury sufferers in Kansas
Lawrence residents with head injuries gain practical help from the Head Injury Action Group. They organize transportation can offer rides for a dollar, work on discounts and insurance issues, and push for accessible services while expanding the independent living movement. The group meets biweekly, supports about a dozen members, and seeks more volunteers to sustain efforts.

The plan aims to create independent owner operators for workers and reduce transportation costs by about 25 percent, though the Teamsters Local 795 protests the move.
