ADA Buyer’s guide:

When shopping for an ADA vehicle, whether for commercial or private use, there are several factors to consider. Here are some key things to keep in mind:

 

  1. Type of vehicle: The first consideration when shopping for an ADA vehicle is the type of vehicle that will best suit your needs. There are several types of vehicles available, including full-size vans, minivans, and buses. The buyer should consider the number of passengers they need to accommodate and the type of terrain the vehicle will be used on.
  2. Accessibility: The vehicle should be easily accessible for individuals with disabilities. This may include a ramp, lift, or other accessibility features.
  3. Seating: The interior of the ADA vehicle should be spacious enough to accommodate the wheelchair user and any other passengers. The seating arrangement should be comfortable and provide ample space for individuals. The buyer should consider the amount of headroom, legroom, and cargo space available.
  4. Safety features: Look for vehicles that have proper safety features such as airbags, seat belts, anti-lock brakes, and back-up camera.
  5. Customization options: Some individuals may require specific modifications to the vehicle, such as hand controls or wheelchair lifts. Look for vehicles that offer customization options to meet these needs.
  6. Maintenance and service: Consider the maintenance and service needs of the vehicle. Look for vehicles that are easy to maintain and have a reliable service network.
