Application Process

Individuals must use the AMBUCS Chapter Directory to find their local AMBUCS chapter to request help.  If there is not a chapter local near the individual, they can request to be added to the wait list with the national organization. There are three required forms for all Amtryke requests: Request and Waiver, Assessment, and Selection. The forms can be found at the webpage, Amtryke Request Forms.

Pieces of the Puzzle

  • AMBUCS is facing supply issues due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They do not anticipate having new trykes back in stock until  late 2022. There will be a significant wait for anyone who is currently on the National Wish List and for any new requests. 
  • There is a Spanish version of the Amtryke Request and Waiver form that can be found on the Amtryke Request Form webpage
  • Veterans must complete a different set of forms. Download the Veteran Request Forms
