Advanced Mobility Device Securement

Course Description: 

The objective of this training is to provide transit operators with strategies and best practices for securing powered mobility devices that often lack traditional securement points and placing lap and shoulder belts on the passengers who use mobility devices as transit seating. Participants will review pre-trip preparation, on-board tools and equipment, effective strap securement locations, and safe work practices and then practice securement techniques on a variety of mobility devices, e.g. powered wheelchairs, scooters and other difficult-to-secure assistive devices. This course is based on materials developed by the Q’Straint.

This training satisfies the KDOT - RTAP Driver Training requirement.
