Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (WAVs) are vehicles that have been specially converted to enable a wheelchair user to travel comfortably either as a passenger or a driver without needing to transfer out of their wheelchair. Size, shape and design of WAVs will vary depending on the original vehicle that is used for the conversion and the company that converts it.
