What is the Transit System Option?
The Transit System is comprised of designated tie-down securement locations attached to the frame of the wheelchair.The
Transit System may also include transit tested seating hardware used to secure the seating system to the frame of the wheel-
chair.The Transit System may be used in conjunction with most wheelchair restraints for those who use a wheelchair as their
primary seat in a motor vehicle.
Why did we develop the Transit System?
The Transit System was developed to help safeguard those who use a wheelchair as their primary seating in a motor vehicle.
Improper use of straps or other devices positioned around the frame of the chair or through the wheels can damage the
wheelchair during transit.The Transit System provides a safe and effective method of securing the chair to the motor vehicle,
without causing damage to the chair.
How did we develop the Transit System?
The Transit System was developed in accordance with the ANSI/RESNA test standard ANSI/RESNA WC/Vol. 1. - Section 19.
This test standard was designed to promote occupant safety and reduce the risk of injury for motor vehicle occupants who
remain seated in their wheelchair during transit.The Transit System was designed for use in conjunction with aftermarket
occupant restraints that meet the design and performance of wheelchair tie-down and occupant restraint systems criteria
developed by the Society of Automotive Engineers.* Additionally, the University of Michigan’s Transportation Research Institute
was utilized to test our Transit System Option.
What are Sunrise Medical’s Responsibilities?
Sunrise Medical’s Transit Option does not make claims to prevent the user from possible injury or death in the event of a
motor vehicle accident. If the Transit Option on your chair was ordered without Sunrise Medical’s line of transit tested
seating, which meets ANSI/RESNA WC/Vol. 1 - Section 19, the seating supplier is responsible for providing the option of
transit capable seating if applicable.The performance of accessories or other seating options not tested is unknown, and
no warranty or claim about their performance is being made.
What are all of the options available for the Transit System?
Options include: transit tested wheelchairs with attachment locations and no specified seating OR transit tested wheelchairs
with attachment locations and Sunrise Medical transit tested seating. See matrix for the transit option that meets your needs.
