| Abstract | Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, all "common wheelchairs and mobility aids", including tri-wheeled scooters, must be accommodated on buses and vans used in public transit service. Several transit systems have recently expressed their concerns to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) on the safety of transporting tri-wheeled scooters and their occupants. Responding to these concerns, this report provides, for transit system staff and other interested parties, a comprehensive assessment of securement and restraint issues related to the transport of tri-wheeled scooters and their occupants on buses and vans used in public transit service. |
