Motoring Services

IWA offers a wide range of Motoring services that support people in gaining increased independence and mobility. Access to transport is recognised as a vital component in people with disabilities achieving full participation in the economic and social life of society. Advances in technology and design have supported changes to open up access to transport for disabled drivers and passengers.

IWA endeavours to support drivers and passengers through the provision of the Driving Tuition & Assessment Service (MAATS), information and advice. These services are co-ordinated from the IWA National Mobility Centre, Clane, Co Kildare. Further information on motoring advice, assessments, grants etc. are available under the following links:
