City Utilities Transit in Springfield, MO, recently introduced five new coaches to replace its current paratransit fleet, which had been serving persons with disabilities passengers since 1997, funded with a $650,000 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grant.

The agency provided 17,500 rides on its “Access Express” paratransit service in 2009.

The new vehicles offer service improvements including a front entry door ramp instead of a lift, providing easier access for passengers traveling in wheelchairs; a low floor feature for customers who may have trouble managing steps; and a new color and design scheme. The distinctive “blue wave” look on these buses will eventually be used throughout the system’s entire bus fleet and on signs at bus stops.
