Скачать или смотреть SacRT Bus Driver Barrier: Wheelchair Accessibility Test (Can Large Power Chairs Still Fit?)

How does SacRT’s new bus driver protection barrier affect wheelchair accessibility?
In this video, we conduct a real-world wheelchair access test using various mobility devices — including small wheelchairs, medium-sized power chairs, and a large power wheelchair — to determine whether passengers can still board safely and independently.

SacRT installed these new glass-and-steel barriers to protect bus operators after a dramatic rise in assaults. While the barrier is necessary for driver safety, it also narrows the entry space for wheelchair users.

Our findings:
✔ Smaller wheelchairs can enter smoothly.
✔ Medium-sized power chairs can board with careful maneuvering.
⚠ Large-size wheelchairs can board, but the space is extremely tight. Wheelchair adjustment is necessary to enter the bus, such as lowering your wheelchair to reposition the joystick on the wheelchair controller.
⚠ Riders may struggle or risk scraping the barrier or their mobility device.
➡ A small design adjustment (1–2 inches less protrusion) could make full ADA access much easier without compromising driver safety​.


This video aims to help SacRT, mobility riders, and the disability community understand how the new barrier impacts real accessibility.
