NEW DOOR-TO-DOOR BUSES ROLL IN TO PARTA
PARTA welcomed five brand new low-floor demand response buses to its fleet on June 27. The vehicles, purchased through a contract with TESCO Bus Sales, are the Frontrunner model built by New England Wheels, with a durable RAM ProMaster Chassis.
One of the standout features of these buses is their front-wheel drive system, which offers enhanced handling and performance—especially in Northeast Ohio’s varied weather conditions. But what really sets these buses apart is the passenger experience. The Frontrunner's design features a single-step, curb-height entry and a true flat floor throughout the cabin—no sloping aisles. Additionally, a fold-out ramp replaces the traditional wheelchair lift, allowing for quicker boarding and alighting. This feature not only benefits riders using mobility devices, but also those with strollers, carts, or temporary mobility limitations.
