Dear CNS Members and Colleagues,

Thousands of adults in California living with epilepsy face a significant and often overlooked barrier to employment: reliable transportation. Due to driving restrictions, many are unable to access jobs, particularly in areas with limited public transit. This contributes to an unemployment rate for adults with epilepsy that is more than five times higher than the general population.

That’s why we are collecting organizational and individual endorsements to demonstrate broad, unified support for the crucial "Expanding Transportation Access for Adults with Epilepsy" resolution.

This resolution calls on state policymakers to develop transportation solutions that empower individuals with epilepsy to achieve financial independence and fully participate in the workforce.

We encourage medical professionals, healthcare organizations, epilepsy advocates, community leaders, and all passionate individuals to join us. Together, we can advocate for policies that promote equity, public health, and economic opportunity.

We need your support to show our legislators this is a priority. Your voice will make a difference! Endorse the Resolution Here:
