An apparatus for restraining a wheelchair in a transit vehicle utilizes a fixed bumper that is adapted to engage the rear portion of a wheelchair wheel in which a movable restraining bumber is adapted to hold the wheelchair wheel in compression between the fixed and movable restraining bumpers. The movable restraining bumper is adapted to move toward and away from the wheelchair and to rotate out of the way when the wheelchair restraint is not in use. A passenger barrier is also adapted to move toward and away from the wheelchair and rotate out of the way when the wheelchair restraint is not in use.
