Companion Seating

At least one fixed seat is required next to each wheelchair space. Pairing wheelchair spaces allows two people who use wheelchairs to sit together.

Plan diagram showing at least one fixed seat next to each wheelchair space

Removable seats or other fixed seats that swing or fold away from the space can be used in wheelchair spaces. Folding seats are more convenient and require less planning than seats that must be removed in advance by facility management. Some paired folding seats fold into a fixed center bar to allow one or two wheelchair spaces. However, the minimum number of wheelchair spaces plus their companion seats still must be provided.
