Take convenience to another level with the best low-floor vehicles from Model 1 Seattle. Explore our step-free buses, full-size vans, and minivans from leading manufacturers and put a priority on accessibility.
LOW-FLOOR VEHICLES ARE THE SMART CHOICE
Low-floor shuttles and vans are a valuable asset to your Seattle fleet. Here are some of the reasons why:
- Easy boarding: Numerous low-floor vehicle ramps are practically flat at curb height, making boarding and disembarking easy for all passengers.
- Efficiency: Passengers can rapidly exit or enter with ramps that unfold in seconds, keeping you on time and helping maintain interior comfort.
- Wheelchair-forward placement: Foster a more inclusive passenger experience with wheelchair spaces at the front, aiding visibility and communication with the driver.
- Easy ramp system: Fast and simple, manual ramps are easier to maintain than electric lifts and need to be extended only once per stop.
- Passenger independence: All people use the same entry point, removing the anxiety some riders experience when using a lift.
Low-floor shuttles and vans are a great fit for a variety of applications, including retirement communities, airport services, hotel or casino transport, tour buses, and more. Are you interested in going low-floor? Learn about the factors you should think about when making a purchase.
WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING A LOW-FLOOR VAN OR SHUTTLE IN Seattle
Whether you’re taking residents to medical appointments or running guests to the airport, Model 1 can connect you with a low-floor vehicle that fits what you do. A few of the primary considerations include:
- Capacity: If you need room for several wheelchairs and prefer fewer trips, a full-size shuttle is recommended. If ADA seating isn’t required for all trips and multiple runs are manageable, a smaller vehicle could offer a more practical solution.
- Budget: Low-floor buses and vans should make transport more convenient for passengers without straining your budget. In-house financing experts at Model 1 can customize purchasing, leasing, and rental options for your financial situation.
- Environment: More compact low-floor vans and minivans provide the maneuverability you need and the fuel savings you want for urban routes.
- Daily route (Duty Cycle): Your everyday route is crucial for choosing between larger vehicles and smaller options. Consider factors such as roadways, trip frequency, and distance.
- Vehicle longevity: The average lifespan of a new, light-duty bus or van is roughly 150,000 to 200,000 miles or 7-12 years. In order to reach or exceed those levels, you must have a maintenance plan in place.
