                               RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing support for designation of May 2012 as ``National Mobility 
                           Awareness Month''.

Whereas millions of people in the United States experience mobility challenges 
        due to injury or illness;
Whereas 6,000,000 veterans suffer from mobility challenges;
Whereas a majority of these individuals unfortunately report that inadequate 
        transportation and mobility options are a major problem in their daily 
        lives;
Whereas many people in the United States overcome mobility struggles on a daily 
        basis;
Whereas people with disabilities can live an active, mobile lifestyle;
Whereas mobility benefits are available to veterans, the elderly, and 
        individuals with disabilities;
Whereas overcoming mobility struggles can be life changing for individuals who 
        suffer from mobility hindering disabilities;
Whereas increased public awareness can help people in the United States 
        experiencing mobility challenges; and
Whereas May 2012 would be an appropriate month to designate as ``National 
        Mobility Awareness Month'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports the 
designation of ``National Mobility Awareness Month''.
