WHY LOW-FLOOR VEHICLES ARE WORTH IT
Low-floor buses and vans are a valuable asset to your Albuquerque fleet. Here are a few reasons why:
- Ease of access: Numerous low-floor vehicle ramps are almost flat at curb height, making egress and ingress easy for all riders.
- Operational efficiency: Passengers can quickly get on or off with ramps that open in seconds, keeping your routes on time and helping maintain interior comfort.
- Forward wheelchair positioning: Build a more inclusive environment by positioning wheelchairs toward the front, aiding visibility and communication with the driver.
- Fold-out ramp: Quick and simple to operate, manual ramps are easier to maintain than powered lifts and need to be used only once per stop.
- Passenger autonomy: Everyone uses the same entry system, removing the anxiety some people feel when using a lift.
Low-floor buses and vans are a great fit for various applications, including tour buses, airport transfers, senior communities, hotel and casino transport, and more. Interested in going low-floor? See what you should consider before you purchase.
WHAT TO THINK ABOUT WHEN SELECTING A LOW-FLOOR SHUTTLE OR VAN IN Albuquerque
Whether you’re transporting residents to medical appointments or running guests to the airport, Model 1 can help you identify a low-floor vehicle perfect for your needs. Here are a few of the essential considerations:
- Capacity: If you need multiple wheelchair spaces and prefer fewer trips, a bigger shuttle is ideal. If ADA seating isn’t needed for every trip and multiple runs are feasible, a smaller option might be a smarter choice.
- Budget: Low-floor vans and buses should make things easier for passengers without stretching your budget. The financing team at Model 1 can provide purchasing, leasing, and rental options to match your budget, needs, and future goals.
- Environment: Smaller low-floor vans and minivans give you the maneuverability you need and the gas savings you want for city streets.
- Daily route (Duty Cycle): Your everyday route is critical for choosing between bigger buses and smaller vehicles. Evaluate factors such as roadways, trip frequency, and distance.
- Life span: The standard lifespan of a new, light-duty bus or van is around 7-12 years, or 150,000 to 200,000 miles. In order to reach or exceed those levels, you must have a maintenance plan in place.
