ABSTRACT:
The invention is an apparatus for securing a mobility aid to the interior of a motor vehicle, such as a bus. The invention includes one or more retractors typically positioned forward of the mobility aid, and one or more retractors typically positioned behind the mobility aid. Some or all of the retractors are provided with a powered tension apparatus for providing opposed tension to the front and rear of the mobility aid, securing it from movement in the vehicle. The tensioning system is capable of being remotely controlled, enabling the securement and release of the mobility aid to be performed easily by either the mobility aid occupant or an operator in the motor vehicle.
