Fun way to look at this!

Did you know? Our passenger wheelchair accessible vehicles (WAVs) are equipped with Q'Straint wheelchair restraints which are designed to carry up to 200kg – about the same weight as an adult male lion 🦁 or a seriously hefty motorcycle! 🏍️

That means whether you’re travelling in a manual wheelchair or a larger powerchair, you can take comfort in knowing your Allied Mobility WAV is made so you can enjoy a safe, secure and comfortable journey. 🚗👩‍🦽

The Q’Straint 200kg-rated restraints fitted in our WAVs are among of the strongest available on the market. However, not all converters use restraints built to this safety capacity.

In our latest blog, we explore why wheelchair restraints are such a critical part of your WAV’s safety and why we have chosen Q’Straint as our restraints partner to deliver wheelchair accessible vehicles that accommodate a wider, more inclusive range of wheelchair users.

Is "good enough" actually enough?

When it comes to transporting students who use mobility aids, simply doing the minimum or "what we've always done" isn’t enough—especially when we now have the knowledge and tools to do better. Our latest feature in School BUSRide explores why raising the standard for safety matters and how thoughtful decisions can make a real difference for students.

We left last week feeling inspired and deeply thankful.

Beyond the sessions & networking, the week was defined by the incredible heart of the transit community.

It was a privilege to join in several moving tributes and celebrations of service like the memorial of Kelly Langstaff, whose kindness, warmth, and "good vibes" will never be forgotten by those she served, to recognizing leaders like Chris Ackerman, whose dedication continues to push our industry forward.

We were also profoundly moved to help present the 2026 Frontline Heroes Award to the teams from Transdev and the City of Pasadena. When the Eaton Fire erupted, these operators acted as first responders, driving through thick smoke and active fire zones to evacuate hundreds of seniors to safety. Their extraordinary courage and resolve that night saved lives and reminded us all of the vital role transit plays in times of crisis.

At Q'Straint, we don't just provide safety solutions; we support a vast community. Thank you to everyone at CALACT for such a powerful and memorable event.
