Ohio Rehabilitation Services Commission (ORSC)

Welcome to the ReTech’s ORSC information page. ReTech has been selected to serve as the provider of Statewide Vehicle Modification Coordination services for vehicle modifications that are funded through ORSC. You will find important information about the process of modifying a vehicle, obtaining authorizations, inspections and more. If you are not a current consumer of ORSC, return to the home page.

Vehicle modifications funded by Ohio Rehabilitation Services Commission are governed by the Administrative Code (Rules 3304-6-01 to 3304-6-15) a complete copy of these rules can be found here.

We work closely with all of the major stakeholders including the consumer, the ORSC counselor, the driver rehabilitation specialist and the retail dealer to help insure a positive outcome. A list of current retail dealers can be downloaded here. All retail dealers must comply to the ORSC Administrative Code and maintain a “good standing” status. General requirements for retail dealers can be found here. Other retail dealers can be found at the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association website. A list of Approved Dealers for Lowered Floor Minivans can be downloaded here.
