Kristina Rhoades knows firsthand the benefits of an MV-1. The Dawsonville resident and Brenau University alumna drives one of the vehicles, which in 2011 launched as the first factory-designed universally accessible vehicle. Rhoades, who is in a wheelchair with a spinal cord injury suffered when she was 10 months old, now has the ability to have her 3-year-old daughter, Kamryn, in her vehicle.
