WHY LOW-FLOOR VEHICLES ARE WORTH IT

Low-floor buses and vans are a valuable asset to your Jackson fleet. Here are a few reasons why:

  • Easy boarding: Many low-floor vehicle ramps are nearly level at curb height, making boarding and disembarking simple for all passengers.
  • Time savings: Everyone enters or exits rapidly with ramps that open in seconds, keeping your routes on time and maintaining cabin comfort.
  • Forward wheelchair positioning: Create a more inclusive passenger experience by positioning wheelchairs at the front, enhancing sightlines and communication with the driver.
  • Easy ramp system: Simple and quick, fold-out ramps require less upkeep than powered lifts and need to be deployed only one time per stop. 
  • Rider autonomy: All people use the same entry point, eliminating the unease some people experience when entering via a lift. 

Low-floor vans and buses are an excellent choice for a variety of applications, including airport shuttles, tour buses, casino or hotel transport, senior living communities, and more. Ready to go low-floor? Learn about the factors you should think about when making a purchase.

WHAT TO THINK ABOUT WHEN BUYING A LOW-FLOOR VAN OR SHUTTLE IN Jackson

Whether you’re ferrying guests to the airport or taking residents to doctors’ appointments, Model 1 can connect you with a low-floor vehicle that fits your application. Some of the primary considerations include: 

  • Capacity: If you require multiple wheelchair spaces and prefer fewer trips, a bigger shuttle is ideal. If ADA seating isn’t required for every trip and multiple runs are feasible, a smaller option might be a smarter choice.
  • Budget: Low-floor buses and vans should make life easier for passengers without straining your budget. In-house financing experts 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 fuel savings you want for city driving.
  • Daily route (Duty Cycle): Your everyday route is critical for deciding between bigger buses and smaller vehicles. Evaluate factors such as distance, trip frequency, and roadways.
  • Life span: The standard 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 or exceed those levels, you must consider your maintenance plan.
