LOW-FLOOR VEHICLES ARE THE RIGHT CHOICE

Low-floor shuttles and vans are a valuable asset to your Dallas Fort Worth fleet. Here’s why they make sense:

  • Ease of access: Many low-floor vehicle ramps are almost level at curb height, making ingress and egress simple for all passengers.
  • Operational efficiency: Everyone gets on or off quickly with ramps that unfold in seconds, keeping your routes on time and maintaining cabin comfort.
  • Forward wheelchair placement: Foster a more inclusive passenger experience with wheelchair spaces toward the front, aiding visibility and communication with the driver.
  • Manual ramp: Fast and simple, manual ramps require less maintenance than powered lifts and need to be used only one time per stop. 
  • Rider autonomy: All passengers use the same entry point, removing the anxiety some people experience when entering via a lift. 

Low-floor shuttles and vans are a great fit for many applications, including airport runs, tour buses, casino or hotel transport, senior living communities, and more. Are you interested in going low-floor? Explore the factors you should look into when making a purchase.

WHAT TO THINK ABOUT WHEN CHOOSING A LOW-FLOOR VAN OR SHUTTLE IN Dallas Fort Worth

Whether you’re taking residents to the doctor’s office or running guests to the airport, Model 1 can help you identify a low-floor vehicle that fits your needs. Here are a few of the primary considerations: 

  • Capacity: If you must have multiple wheelchair positions and wish to minimize the number of trips, a bigger shuttle is your best bet. If ADA seating isn’t required for every trip and multiple trips are feasible, a smaller option might be a wiser choice.
  • Budget: Low-floor vehicles should make things easier for passengers without going over your budget. Financing specialists at Model 1 can customize purchasing, rental, and leasing options to match your budget, needs, and future goals.
  • Environment: More compact low-floor vans and minivans provide the maneuverability you need and the gas savings you want for urban routes.
  • Daily route (Duty Cycle): Your everyday route is essential for finding the right vehicle size. Weigh factors such as roadways, trip frequency, and distance.
  • Life span: The standard lifespan of a new, light-duty bus or van is roughly 7-12 years, or 150,000 to 200,000 miles. In order to reach these numbers, you must have a maintenance plan in place.
