School Transportation Vans and Wheelchair Lifts

Many schools are responsible for ensuring that children with special needs are safely transported on federally approved transportation provided by the school system. In cases where only one or two wheelchair occupied students need to be transported, a full-size commercial van equipped with a lift is much more affordable and economical to operate than a traditional school bus. With a wide variety of floor plans available to accommodate every need.

Safety Recommendations

All of our school transport vehicles and wheelchair vans are engineered and manufactured with the highest quality standards, meeting or exceeding all federal regulations. Our experienced technicians are trained in all aspects of installing and servicing adaptive equipment, with strict adherence to quality assurance standards. MobilityWorks is also a proud participant in Ford’s FTQP program (Ford Truck Quality Program), which requires annual re-certification by Ford.

MobilityWorks goes to great lengths to make sure that all wheelchair restraint systems are properly installed. Our suppliers are quality manufacturers that are well respected throughout the mobility industry. We recommend that all transport drivers be trained in the proper positioning and securement of wheelchair occupants, following the guidelines provided by each restraint manufacturer.

Wheelchairs should be secured with fastening devices that are attached to the floor. Any occupied wheelchairs should be secured with 4-point tie-down devices. These tie-down systems should be designed to secure an adult male. The securement straps should attach to the frame of the wheelchair rather than to the wheels. Occupants needs to be secured to the wheelchair with a separate safety belt system.
