DEFINITION: MOBILITY DEVICES

The definition of mobility devices has expanded to include not only traditional devices, such as wheelchairs and scooters, but any power-driven mobility devices used by a person with a mobility disability including, but not limited to, Segways. All such devices must be permitted in any area that pedestrians use unless it would result in a fundamental alteration, is a direct threat, or creates a safety hazard.
