The Access-AriZe Belt was invented and developed after an accident on a para-transit vehicle. A passenger using a wheelchair leaned forward while on the vehicles lift causing the chairs rear wheels to roll forward and hit, the front barrier. The passenger tipped off of the bus and fell roughly four feet to the ground while still attached to his wheelchair. Access-Arize was asked to come up with a safety product that could help to prevent this from happening again yet would not require any lift modifications.The Access-AriZe belt features a metal seatbelt style buckle and extensions on both sides. The design takes years of professional experience and extensive driver feedback into account. The Mine Safety association rigorously tested the Access-AriZe belt to more than 1200lbs (see certificate page for more)

The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) endorses the Access-AriZe belt and intends to add it to their specifications for light duty body on chassis vehicles by early 2011.
