The Safety Guidelines for Wheelchair Lifts on Public Transit Vehicles were developed through a grant from the Office of Technology Development and Deployment of the Urban Mass Transportation Administration to the Division of Mass Transportation of the California Department of Transportation (CALTRANS). CALTRANS was supported in this research by a broadly based advisory panel of persons drawn from industries and other sectors engaged in activities pertinent to the public transport of the handicapped. The panel is listed within this report. In addition, CALTRANS asked bus and lift manufacturers and many transit operators to comment on draft safety Guidelines. Advice was also sought from the staff of the Urban Mass Transportation Administration, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and the Transportation Systems Center. This report furnishes guidelines that can be used in addressing safety in the preparation of specifications for wheelchair lifts to be used on public transit buses and vans, and are written in performance specification language.
