Helping riders in wheelchairs or scooters
Knowing how to store wheelchairs and scooters helps people with limited mobility feel welcome and independent in your car.
Ask before handling wheelchairs
Start by asking the rider how you can help. Follow their directions and be careful handling their wheelchair or scooter.
Storing a scooter
Small scooters can often be disassembled for storage. Lifting by the base can help you transfer it to and from your vehicle. Learn more in the video.
