WHEELCHAIR TIE-DOWN RESTRAINTS AND SEAT RESTRAINTS

transportation in a vehicle while in the wheelchair is required, the wheelchair must be equipped with PDG
factory installed Transport-Ready Tie-down mounting points. The wheelchair must be restrained from
movement using a government approved wheelchair tie-down system and the vehicle must be equipped
