Details Information

Abstract: In this document, NHTSA proposes to amend the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard on bus emergency exits and window retention and release by regulating the location of the anchorages for wheelchair securement devices. NHTSA is issuing this proposal to ensure that wheelchair securement anchorages and devices cannot be installed, and wheelchairs cannot be secured, in locations where they will block access to any exit needed for school bus evacuation in the event of an emergency. This proposal applies to school buses in which wheelchair positions are provided. Nothing in this rulemaking would require that wheelchair positions be provided. You should submit your comments early enough to ensure that Docket Management receives them not later than May 4, 1999.
