Here at Access-Arize, we have more than 50 years of transportation experience and are dedicated to improving safety and training in the industry. Not only can we offer consultation services and advice, but we can also provide training tailored to fit and meet your requirements and time slot.
At Access-Arize, we believe strongly that no passenger should leave a bus in a worse emotional or physical condition than when they got on the bus. When we heard that 70% of passengers that are injured on para-transit style buses were not in a vehicle that was involved in an accident, this got us thinking...what is going wrong?
We are excited to now be able to offer complete lift restraint belts using our new belt at the rear of the lift to help prevent passengers from tipping backward into the bus. This type of accident is far more common than we would like to believe and happened four times in February in the Denver metro area alone. The belts can be purchased separately or as a complete system. We are proud to announce that our belts are now manufactured by www.besi-inc.com and come with a year warranty.

The Access-Arize Belt was invented and developed following a terrible accident on a para-transit vehicle when a passenger using a wheelchair tipped off a bus lift falling 4 feet to the ground while still attached to his mobility device. We needed to come up with something that could help to prevent this from happening again and that would not require any modification of the lift. We have been very fortunate to have a fleet of 120 buses at our disposal to test and improve the belt using feedback from our drivers. We then turned our attention to other areas where people were being hurt or injured. This led us to invent the belt to protect the inboard platform of the lift and prevent people from tipping backward into the bus. It also enables drivers to have more control over their passengers on the lift.
We are now also able to supply many other products that will help to maintain a safe environment on your bus and give drivers the tools that they need to react to and prevent emergencies. Our belts are manufactured in the U.S.A by Besi, Inc. We now also have an exciting new range of bus safety equipment that can be viewed in our online store and purchased through GoDaddy.
