10.17 Using a paratransit
service
To reduce risk of injuries, Motion Composites
recommend that wheelchair users should not be
transported in any kind of vehicles while sitting in a
wheelchair. Motion Composites recognize that the
safest transit option for a wheelchair user is to transfer into an
appropriate seat in the vehicle and use the seat belts made
available by the auto industry. Motion Composites cannot, and
does not, recommend any wheelchair transporting systems.
The standard wheelchair seatbelt should never be used as a
safety seat belt when sitting in a paratransit vehicle.
Transit regulation may vary in different legislation, states,
provinces and countries. Only use a transit tie-down system
that is approved in your legislation.
To avoid risk of injuries, remove all objects or accessories
from the wheelchair and store them securely in the paratransit
vehicle.
WARNING

the Transit Option installed.
If your chair is NOT equipped with the Transit Option:

3. In an accident or sudden stop the user may be thrown from
the chair. Wheelchair seat belts will not prevent this, and

vehicle. It may shift and interfere with the driver.
5. A LWAYS secure this chair so that it cannot roll or shift.
