Safety First Defending Best Practice for Wheelchair Students
The Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) §571.222 titled “School bus passenger seating and crash protection” was modified to include wheelchair-seated students and now requires all wheelchair stations provided by school bus manufacturers to be installed for forward-facing travel and equipped with four-point, strap-type wheelchair tiedown (S5.4.1/.2/.3 Wheelchair securement anchorages) and three-point pelvic/shoulder belt restraint systems that meet static strength
requirements (S5.4. 4 Wheelchair occupant restraints) (http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/
administration/fmcsr/fmcsrruletext.aspx?reg=571.222) However, the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards do not detail the requirements for the actual wheelchairs used as seating in a motor
vehicle.
