Mobility Scooters: Contact Airway Oxygen at 616-224-0402 to reserve a mobility scooter. This is the number for the Grand Rapids store and they will send the scooter(s) to the Holland Michigan Airway Oxygen store.
**When I called the store in Holland for this information, they said to reserve the scooter at least 2 weeks in advance of needing it, but I would reserve as soon as you know you are going.
MAX Express: MAX Transit, Holland's City-owned transit system, offers various ADA resources to passengers getting around Holland.
