    Course details

    • Course Overview

      More than 30 years after the ADA expanded access to public transportation, many mobility devices remain difficult to secure. While securement technology has improved, modern devices have also become larger, more adaptable, and more complex—creating new challenges for providers.

      This advanced course builds on the principles of Securement 101 to provide transportation directors, supervisors, and trainers with practical strategies and proven techniques to safely transport even the most difficult mobility devices.

      The first four lessons examine the factors driving these challenges, define what effective securement looks like, and provide troubleshooting guidance for complex powered devices, scooters, and occupant securement.

      The final lesson delivers best practice recommendations—drawn from over 40 years of experience and leading agencies across North America—to help reduce risk and liability while improving passenger safety.

      • Understand and apply six problem-solving strategies to more effectively secure difficult mobility devices.
      • Understand and apply six problem-solving strategies to use the occupant securement more effectively in situations where the passenger’s disability or the design of the device impede proper belt use.
