Seatbelts

You are required to wear a seatbelt during trips. If you are unable to buckle it yourself, the driver will assist you.

The use of a lap belt (or pelvic belt) is mandatory for those travelling in wheelchairs on minibuses and accessible taxis.
 
Wheelchair seatbelts (for posture support) are designed to hold you in position, but do not protect you from injury in the event of an accident. If you are exempted from wearing a seatbelt, a copy of the certificate issued by the Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec attesting to your inability to wear a seatbelt must be sent ahead of time to paratransit customer service. You should also keep a copy with you when using paratransit services.
