A transportation system and a method of transporting a handicapped individual are disclosed. The transportation system includes a navigational apparatus having a location sensor coupled to a personal mobility device. The location sensor detects signals emitted from a plurality of beacons disposed throughout the building. The signals include information, which permits the navigational assembly to calculate the location of the personal mobility device within the building. The navigational system then guides the personal mobility device along a pre-determined travel route to the desired location within the building, re-calculating the travel route as necessary to avoid obstacles encountered along the way.
