The Friendly Bus was designed with seniors and people with mobility challenges
in mind with its retractable, easily deployed boarding ramp.
A Ford F-450/-550
Super Duty Series chassis is combined with a patented
Z-Frame chassis with
independent suspension to create a vehicle with a very stable ride which can
also be serviced locally at Ford Dealerships. The result is a flexible, effective, and
dependable transportation solution that meets all Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) specifications.
Flexible, because the design provides a variety of floor configurations with easy
on/easy off access for all passengers and can be serviced at Ford Dealerships.
Effective, because the simple design has no steps or complicated lifts and focuses
on client dignity and independence.
Dependable, because it was designed to meet the needs of both transportation
providers and their passengers in a safe and comfortable vehicle.
Transportation providers, passengers and advocates have been enthusiastic about
the safe and easy boarding, no-hassle ramp operation, vehicle comfort, stable
ride, and window views. Eliminating lifts improves route efficiency as boarding
and exiting times will decrease. Also, the ramp may be operated manually for
added safety and reliability.
