What is the Securement Assistance For Everyone (S.A.F.E.) Program?
The S.A.F.E. program is a free and voluntary program designed to provide better securement for people using mobility devices to access public transportation. The program is meant to ensure that mobility devices are secured properly and in the safest place to minimize the risk of injury and damage. The vehicle operator will attach the vehicles securement straps to the marked areas of your mobility device and the securement will be tightened.
Am I eligible for the program?
There is no application to complete and the only eligibility requirement is that you own a mobility device. You will be asked to sign a liability release form before installation. Installation will take approximately 15 minutes.
What are the benefits of the S.A.F.E. program?
The program offers a convenient, no-hassle way for vehicle operators to secure your mobility device. The program saves time and takes the guesswork out of the securement process. It also reduces the risk of injuries and damages caused by improper securing.
Who will install the securement straps?
A qualified mobility specialist from the Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) or an RTC contracted employee will install straps and/or high visibility tape on the most appropriate places to secure your mobility device. The straps and tape require no permanent alterations and can be easily removed. They can also be left in place and will not interfere with the operation of your mobility device.
How do I get my securement straps?
Contact a mobility specialist at 676-1815 to schedule an appointment. Please be prepared to complete a liability release form and have a picture taken of your mobility device at completion of the installation.
