Legally someone can ride on a scooter in Public Transportation. Scooters fall under Other Power Driven Mobility Devices and are covered by the ADA. There are size limitations in the ADA of 30” X 48” and do not fit on to the ramp/lift. The issue comes down to not denying a trip based on someone's choice in mobility device. The ADA has supplemental information here archive.ada.gov/opdmd.htm.
@Nebraska Public Transit I was told that 3 part scooters cannot have the rider on it during transport due to the risk of it breaking apart in an accident.
Great video, thank you!
Thank you. This was interesting.
Legally someone can't be on the scooter during transport, correct?
