A system for securing wheelchairs on public transit vehicles has been developed consisting of a device placed within the floor of a vehicle and brackets fitted to the wheelchairs to be secured. It is actuated by the wheelchair patron. The evaluation concludes that it works well for wheelchairs that are retrofittable but it is only compatible with about one-fifth of the available chairs. Further, there are drawbacks to the maneuverability of retrofitted chairs and of all chairs on retrofitted transit vehicles and wheelchairs would have to be standardized as to configuration for the system to be accepted by those whom it is intended to serve.
