We empower people of all abilities to access the outdoors through our innovative portable, modular access mats.
Kelly and Eric were inspired to help local adaptive surfers cross the sand to the waters edge in their wheelchairs with dignity and independence. Motivated to create a user-friendly solution, the two designed numerous prototypes and tested them with the adaptive surfing community. The initial concept worked, and they have since continued to improve upon the design with the input of the adaptive surfers and other wheelchair users. Their goal to have Access Trax (formerly known as Beach Trax) available to the public has been realized in 2018 with the launch of their company, Access Trax.

Omeo America is a division of AGM Container Controls. AGM has been in business for over 50 years, providing moisture and pressure control solutions to the defense industry. In 1992, AGM started the Ascension Wheelchair Lifts to provide accessibility solutions for commercial spaces (arenas, convention centers, theaters, schools etc.). This opened our eyes to the many obstacles people face in getting equal access to physical spaces.
In the past couple of years, we've challenged ourselves to take a stronger leadership role promoting accessibility in our local and national communities. What started as the creation and funding of an adaptive hand cycling team in partnership with Southern Arizona Adaptive Sports and El Tour de Tucson has grown into participating in adaptive experiences around the country.
When we discovered the Omeo we felt that manufacturing this product was a natural next step for our company. People were made to move and the ability to move freely has a direct impact on one's ability to live life on their own terms. We aim facilitate opportunities for the community to Go Further, through reclaimed freedom and independence.
