Well, neverminding the 12.2 mile distance, my only option besides a freeway would be a road that is four lane with no sidewalks (it's technically suburban but for most of the way there's only the occasional house or business, so I would be in the right lane all the way) with a speed limit of 45 and no street lights.
As a wheelchair user, I'd have to use a four-wheel device. I don't know the range on those because I don't own one.
How much could they cost? $10?
/s
The Amtrak ticket would only be $11, although I'd have to leave at 11:50pm the night before AND the bus doesn't carry wheelchairs anyway. heh. Paratransit doesn't run early enough, either.
