HCSC Purchases ADA Compliant Minivan
(Use with picture of ADA Compliant minivan)
During the last 18 months, HCSC has had to retire four older transportation vans due to
maintenance issues. The 5310 Federal program to purchase vans has had production
issues resulting in extensive delivery delays for vehicles. To continue to provide
transportation services for seniors, HCSC has purchased an ADA compliant minivan out
of available HCSC funds. The new van has a rear ramp to load a rider in a wheelchair.
The logo and lettering will be added soon. Pictured in the new vehicle is Cathy Riley,
Van Driver.
