Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles
Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (WAVs) are specially designed to accommodate individuals who use wheelchairs. These vehicles often feature ramps or lifts that allow easy entry and exit, as well as securement systems to safely hold the wheelchair in place during travel. WAVs can come in various forms, including vans, SUVs, and buses, ensuring that people with mobility challenges can access transportation.
Many WAVs are equipped with additional features to enhance comfort and safety, such as adjustable seating and hand controls. Organizations and manufacturers often collaborate to create these vehicles, ensuring compliance with regulations and standards for accessibility. This makes it easier for individuals with disabilities to travel independently and participate in community activities.
