This paper makes an argument for the development and interim use of a low g containment device that will allow occupant-operated securement and release of WMDs (wheeled mobility devices) in large transit vehicles. Initial prototype testing suggests feasibility. A successful commercial product would replace belt-type securement devices currently used in transit vehicles, and include an integrated occupant restraint system. Ultimately, the containment device would be integrated into the lower part of a flip-down type seat replacing similar seats now used in wheelchair stations on accessible transit vehicles.
