For your safety, and to comply with all applicable laws, all passengers must allow restraining devices to be used to secure wheelchairs at all times. Drivers will assist wheelchair passengers as needed. Passengers may carry packages on board; however, the number is limited to the amount that passengers or attendants can carry in their hands or on their mobility devices.
