WHY LOW-FLOOR VEHICLES MAKE SENSE

Low-floor buses and vans are a worthwhile addition to your Texas fleet. Here’s why they stand out:

Easy boarding: Ramps on many low-floor vehicles are almost level at curb height, making ingress and egress effortless for all riders.

Efficiency: Everyone boards or disembarks rapidly with ramps that open in seconds, keeping you on time and helping maintain interior comfort.

Forward wheelchair placement: Build a more inclusive passenger experience with wheelchair positions at the front, enhancing sightlines and communication with the driver.

Easy ramp system: Fast and simple, fold-out ramps require less upkeep than powered lifts and only have to be used one time per stop.

Rider autonomy: All passengers use the same entry, removing the anxiety some people encounter when using a lift.

Low-floor shuttles and vans are a great fit for numerous applications, including tour buses, airport shuttles, senior communities, hotel and casino transport, and more. Are you interested in going low-floor? Review the factors you should think about when buying.

WHAT TO THINK ABOUT WHEN SELECTING A LOW-FLOOR VAN OR SHUTTLE IN Texas

Whether you’re transporting residents to medical appointments or running guests to the airport, Model 1 can help you identify a low-floor vehicle that fits your application. Here are several of the primary considerations:

Capacity: If you need space for several wheelchairs and prefer fewer trips, a bigger shuttle is ideal. If ADA seating isn’t mandatory for each trip and multiple trips are feasible, a smaller option could give you a more practical solution.

Cost considerations: Low-floor vans and buses should make transport more convenient for passengers without straining your budget. The financing team at Model 1 can customize purchasing, leasing, and rental options to match your situation.

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 daily route is critical for choosing between smaller options and larger vehicles. Weigh factors such as trip frequency, distance, and roadways.

Life span: The expected lifespan of a new, light-duty shuttle 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.
