Special Equipment

The individual needs of students transported to special programs are often met by providing special equipment for the student and on the bus. These can include transportable wheelchairs or other special seating devices, wheelchair tiedowns and occupant restraint systems (WTORS), wheelchair lifts, climate control, and means to safely secure special equipment such as oxygen tanks during transport.
