Compliance vs. Complete SolutionWhile other wheelchair securement stations for transit merely assure compliance with ADA requirements, the right system will deliver a complete solution.
Other Q’POD
Compliance with ADA RequirementsSo transit operators can meet Federal requirements
Stabilizing BumperMakes it almost impossible to tip a chair or scooter and eliminates the need for a 4th securement point making securement faster and keeping routes on schedule
Front TensionerDrivers can use a single hand in a simple bending motion when attaching or releasing for less intrusion on the rider’s space while assuring maximum stability
Scooter RingEliminates the need for a fourth belt or quick strap and makes scooter
reducing legal and medical costs
For more information, visit: Qstraint.com/Qpod
Drastically lower securement times by up to 50%
or improper use
Keep buses on proper route schedules due to reduced dwell times
Avoid invasions of their mobility passenger’s personal “space”
Increase the ratio of riders requesting securement (when optional)
Reduce driver frustration as well as their risk of personal injury
Integrated Shoulder Belt
installation by eliminating the need for wall or window bar retractor attachments
Beyond just the need for securement, it is important to consider the big picture when it comes to securing mobility passengers. Transit managers are specifying the Q’POD because it is helping them:

Message from the President
Dear members and friends of TTA,
It is with great pleasure and responsibility that I have accepted the position as President of the Texas Transit Association . As many of you know, I occupied this position once before, from 2008 through 2010 . I am honored by the support of the Board and the opportunity to continue serving the Texas Transit Association .
As I look forward to this exciting journey, I see many great opportunities and a positive future for the TTA . I believe TTA is a collaborative voice for public transportation throughout the state . I am hopeful that we can set aside any differences and work together for the common good of public transportation . Individually it can be difficult to be heard, but as a group our industry will have a much stronger voice . Even though many of us are faced with issues within our agency, we must stick together as we work through our challenges statewide . All of us have to be part of the conversation and part of the solution . We need one voice for public transportation in Texas, and the Texas Transit Association is that voice . As we move together to enhance public transportation statewide, we must remain responsible to taxpayers as we address our passengers needs . We must develop public and legislative support for public transportation statewide . Through increased collaboration we will be able to develop partnerships with other organizations, garner support and move our industry forward . Transit needs everyone to be part of the same goal in attracting choice riders . I ask you to take a step back and look at your involvement with TTA, and I challenge you to make a stronger commitment .
Again, I encourage you to join this effort and become the voice of public transportation throughout Texas .

TTA’s purpose is to promote and educate the people of Texas about issues affecting the public transit industry within the state . Additionally, TTA will actively support public transportation in the state of Texas and work with members of the state and federal, executive and legislative branches in the pursuit of additional resources to support public transportation .
TTA is governed by a Board of Directors elected from the general membership to include five members each from the metros, small urban, and rural operators . In addition, three business, or associate, member representatives are elected to the TTA Board of Director’s by the Board of Directors .
TTA’s Executive Committee is elected by the Board from among its member-elected officers . This committee includes a president, one vice president representing each of the three transit membership types, and a treasurer .

How to Contact Your Elected Officials
How to Write, Visit or Call Your Elected OfficialsIncrease TTA’s influence by staying in close contact with your local elected and appointed officials . Take advantage of every opportunity possible to communicate with them in writing, through email, by phone and in person .
LettersA well-crafted letter is the most commonly used and effective means of communicating with elected officials .
Improve Your Letters! Be straightforward and clear . Avoid using industry lingo .
Keep it short (one page, and not smaller than 10-point type) .
Make your primary point in the first paragraph .
Avoid long, drawn-out paragraphs that keep your reader guessing as to what your conclusion may be .
Use facts and the experiences of staff and customers to back up your opinions .
Use your credentials to support your views . This lends credibility to your statements .
Share your expertise without boasting .
Be tactful and polite: remember, there will be other issues down the road . It is not wise to alienate your legislator because of a “disagreement” on a current issue .
Visits with Elected OfficialsCongressional and state legislative district offices are staffed with people whose job it is to communicate with constituents like you . Make a point to stop in to visit your legislator every time he/she has office hours in his or her area . This is the impact each member should strive for . There are no barriers to stopping by local offices and establishing relationships with the staff . He or she is an essential advisor to his or her legislator .
Get the Most from Your Visits! Call ahead for an appointment and tell legislators what issues you wish to discuss .
Time with legislators is extremely valuable . Have an agenda so you don’t just talk until the clock runs out .
Treat a meeting with staff as you would with any elected official .
Expect legislators to say they will have their staff “look into the issue .”
Stick to the facts and use a human story to serve as an example .
Give the legislator a one-page paper describing the issue and solution and ask him or her to support your position .
Leave the meeting open-ended for further discussion and ALWAYS follow up with a personal thank you note .
Telephone CallsA phone call is not as personal as a visit, but more so than a letter . The rules are the same – make your points clearly and succinctly and then say goodbye . Don’t act surprised or annoyed if a staff member takes your call . Treat staff with the same respect and courtesy you would an elected official .

Make Your Phone Calls Count! Use the phone when time for action is short .
Use the phone when you want to convey urgency .
Leave a simple message of your support or opposition to a bill by leaving the House or Senate Bill number and the name it is known by and then ask your legislator to support your position .
Always mention your name, title and local affiliation .
It is fine to ask the staff person to call you back and let you know what action the legislator took .
Faxes and EmailsGrassroots lobbying, in particular, often takes advantage of the immediacy of faxes and emails on important issues . Use these methods of communication only when time is critical .
Send Faxes and Emails That Get Read! These messages are brief by nature .
Stick to the facts but in an even briefer form than your letters or phone calls .
Just make your main point and ask the legislator to take a specific action .
Security IssuesCorrespondence sent by mail to Washington, D .C ., is often delayed as it must go through security screening before being delivered to Senators and U .S . Representatives . It is strongly recommended to avoid sending letters in the mail to members of Congress . Fax or emails are the preferred methods .
