Update on Low-Floor bus accessibility

[Chip 'n Dale Express]

Just wanted to give y'all the heads up that we have completed the retrofit on the new low-floors. Our newest delivery of low-floor buses did not feature a special safety latch on the rear securement area, and it did not pass strict Disney safety standards. Disney has since retrofitted these buses, and now both wheelchair securement areas are available.

At this time, we are also replacing some of our older lifts on the RTS buses with newer, larger lifts. At the same time, we are replacing the old straps with the new J-hook style straps. On these particular buses, they also lack the safety latch, and will need to be retrofitted. It's only a few buses, and they should be retrofitted very soon.

Tyler, thanks for sharing this info with us. I rented an ECV from off property & used Disney transportation on our trip in May - my compliments to everyone! And I did let supervisors know .

DH and I just came back from WDW. We didn't need the wheelchair access since we didn't have DD and her wheelchair with us, but I thought I saw some bright, shiny new restraint systems.
Thanks for the update.
