The report documents the results of a three phase program to install an existing transit bus wheelchair lift system on a Boeing Light Rail Vehicle (LRV). Program activities included a review of lift requirements, evaluation of existing lift systems, analysis of the operational and structural implications of integrating existing or modified bus lift systems into current LRVs, the organization of a technical liaison committee, the selection of an existing lift system for integration into an existing LRV, and the installation of the lift in a test vehicle for operational demonstration.
