At Frontrunner® Bus, we are proud to announce a significant achievement in public transportation accessibility—a recent collaboration with Cincinnati Metro has led to the launch of 10 new Access paratransit vehicles, designed and manufactured by Frontrunner®, with state-of-the-art accessibility features.
Innovative Accessibility Features
Our Frontrunner® vehicles come equipped with an impressive kneeling suspension system. This innovative feature allows each vehicle to lower, facilitating easier boarding and exiting for passengers with mobility challenges. Additionally, these vehicles feature a new ramping system that replaces traditional lifts, ensuring a smoother and more efficient boarding process for wheelchair users and individuals using mobility aids.
Commitment to Passenger Comfort
This initiative is part of Cincinnati Metro's broader commitment to prioritizing the needs of all riders, as echoed by Darryl Haley, CEO/GM of Metro, "Metro continues to prioritize the needs of all riders across every line of service. By incorporating these new features from Frontrunner®, we are ensuring that our passengers with disabilities have a comfortable and convenient travel experience."
Frontrunner® Bus' Dedication to Accessibility
As a leading manufacturer of accessible transportation solutions, Frontrunner® Bus is dedicated to enhancing transportation for everyone. Our collaboration with Cincinnati Metro on these vehicles reflects our commitment to innovation and accessibility in public transit.
Looking Forward
These 10 vehicles are just the start, as Cincinnati Metro plans to upgrade its entire fleet of nearly 50 Access vehicles to include more of Frontrunner®'s advanced models. This ongoing effort aims to improve the overall experience for passengers, reinforcing both Metro's and Frontrunner®'s dedication to accessibility and convenience.
