How does the NH Connections bus washroom meet accessibility standards?
A. The washrooms onboard the NH Connections highway coaches are, to the best of our knowledge, the first fully wheelchair-accessible washroom ever built onboard a coach bus. The washroom was designed by engineers at Prevost Car (the manufacturers of the coaches) after consultation with health care providers and advocacy groups, including the BC Paraplegic Association. The design meets and exceeds the standard proposed by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for Inter-City Railway Cars. Several enhancements were made that exceed the ADA standard, including a modified entry door, longer grab bars, and the addition of a patient lift attached to the roof of the washroom.
