Restriction on Trip Purpose: No person shall be denied service for trip purposes which are provided to other passengers. Constraints on Capacity or Service Availability: Vehicle wheelchair carrying capacity shall not be constrained by a failure to provide an adequate number of wheelchair positions where demand is evident. Lifts, ramps, and other transfer and securement devices must accommodate all types of mobility devices in common use (specifically including electric wheelchairs and three-wheel scooters). Availability of Information and Reservation Capability: The applicant shall have available a telecommunications device for the deaf(TDD) or compara- ble two-way communications system.
