Some transit agencies...well at least for OCTA and LACMTA, send some of their lead mechanics to bus manufurer assembly lines to make sure their orders meet or exceed their specifications.

Speculating, I wonder if Nova Bus used the 30-inch guideline, and then the transit system got upset when a non-standard wheelchair (i.e., a motorized wheelchair) could not navigate. If this speculation is correct, and the Nova Bus contract is just to meet ADA specifications, then it should be the transit system and/or the disabled person who is out of luck, not the manufacturer.
