  Requests to occasionally drive at different times, for example during exam weeks, do not fall within this scope. These requests will therefore be rejected.

• It is mandatory to have an ISO-certified wheelchair in order to travel by taxi (bus). 
• A certified wheelchair can be recognized by the sticker with the hook symbol.
• Your child may only be transported in the wheelchair if the wheelchair has this sticker. Does the wheelchair not have this sticker? Then your child may not be transported and cannot therefore travel on school transport.

For questions about wheelchair certification, please contact the wheelchair supplier.
