Make transportation easier for all with the finest low-floor vehicles from Model 1 NYC. Explore our step-free shuttles, full-size vans, and minivans from leading manufacturers and put an emphasis on accessibility.
LOW-FLOOR VEHICLES ARE THE SMART CHOICE
Low-floor shuttles and vans are a valuable asset to your NYC fleet. Here’s why they make sense:
- Easy entry and exit: Ramps on numerous low-floor vehicles are practically level at curb height, making boarding and disembarking effortless for all passengers.
- Time savings: Passengers can quickly exit or enter with ramps that unfold in seconds, keeping your routes on time and maintaining interior comfort.
- Forward wheelchair placement: Foster a more inclusive environment with wheelchair spaces near the front, improving communication and visibility with the driver.
- Manual ramp: Simple and quick, manual ramps require less maintenance than powered lifts and need to be deployed only one time per stop.
- Rider autonomy: Everyone uses the same entry, removing the anxiety some passengers encounter when boarding via a lift.
Low-floor shuttles and vans are an excellent fit for a variety of applications, including airport shuttles, tour buses, casino or resort transport, senior living communities, and more. Are you interested in going low-floor? Learn about the factors you should look into when purchasing.
WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING A LOW-FLOOR BUS OR VAN IN NYC
Whether you’re running guests to the airport or taking residents to doctors’ appointments, Model 1 can connect you with a low-floor vehicle perfect for what you do. Here are several of the primary considerations:
- Capacity: If you need multiple wheelchair spots and wish to minimize the number of trips, a larger shuttle is your best bet. If ADA seating isn’t required for each trip and multiple trips are manageable, a smaller vehicle might make more sense.
- Financing: Low-floor buses and vans should make life easier for passengers without going over your budget. In-house financing experts at Model 1 can customize leasing, purchasing, and rental options to match your budget, needs, and future goals.
- Environment: More compact low-floor vans and minivans provide the maneuverability you require and the fuel efficiency you want for city streets.
- Daily route (Duty Cycle): Your daily route is crucial for determining the right vehicle size. Consider factors such as distance, trip frequency, and roadways.
- Life span: The expected lifespan of a new, light-duty shuttle or van is approximately 150,000 to 200,000 miles or 7-12 years. In order to reach these numbers, you must consider your maintenance plan.
