There are many ways to get around the District if you are using a wheelchair. All metro stations and buses run by the Metropolitan Washington Transit Authority (WMATA) are wheelchair accessible. In addition, WMATA offers a regional paratransit service called MetroAccess that does not have an income requirement. DFHV through taxi companies offers an alternative paratransit service to Metro Access called Transport DC.
