The Canadian Spinal Research Organization has created an app to help disabled drivers get fuel in their cars, and it has been released exclusively in 91原创.

The app is called fuelService and is being piloted in 91原创 with Chevron gas stations.

FuelService was founded by a frustrated disabled driver, Niall El-Assaad, a quadriplegic, who wanted to find a more efficient and effective way to gas up his vehicle.

He found an answer to his problem by developing a user-friendly app.

It鈥檚 a free app for smartphone devices that connects the user with gas stations located nearby.

The process is simple: the disabled driver sends the request from their app to the designated station. The phone rings at the station and the station presses #1 if they have someone who can assist the driver within the next 30 minutes, or #2 if they cannot.

鈥淭his app changes the ways disabled drivers refuel their vehicles. The best part is that the proceeds from partnerships with gas companies are donated to charities who fund spinal research to search for a cure for paralysis,鈥� said Caitlinn Terry, spokesperson for Canadian Spinal Research Organization.

Zosia Ettenberg, founder of Pos-Abilities, a non-profit organization that supports people living with disabilities, can鈥檛 wait to try out the new app and has already downloaded it.

鈥淚t鈥檚 an absolutely wonderful idea,鈥� said Ettenberg, who uses a wheelchair.

鈥淗ere I am, independent and driving, but I can鈥檛 pump my own gas. This app will further all of us with more independence.鈥�

The 91原创 resident is hoping more gas stations get onboard.

鈥淚t鈥檚 starting in 91原创 but let鈥檚 get this across Canada,鈥� she said.

鈥淚 went to see my son in Saskatchewan but wouldn鈥檛 have been able to do it on my own, because I didn鈥檛 want to risk being stranded without full-service gas stations,鈥� she said. 鈥淲ouldn鈥檛 it be great if this app could be used?鈥�

She is encouraging everyone with a disability to download the app, try it and comment on it.
