New Shared-Ride Buses
The Transit Authority added two new shared-ride buses to our fleet. They are both fourteen passenger, wheelchair accessible, small transit buses. The purchase was made possible to a grant through the Persons with Disabilities Program.


New Buses

As of June 2009 the Transit Authority has put its fleet of well worn buses out to pasture. New to Warren County is a fleet of Gillig Low Floor Buses. These buses are made in the USA and have proven to be some of the very best workhorses available for cities large and small.

With seating for 30, the low floor design means easier access for wheel chairs and folks for whom stairs are difficult.

For years, Gillig has been a prominent school bus manufacturer in California. The company began as a wagon maker in 1890 in San Francisco. In 1937 the company moved their operations across the bay to Hayward, California. In 1980, Gillig dropped their school line and began marketing transit buses. The design of the Phantom, their first transit model, was based on their school bus design that was introduced in the 1970s.

Gillig has become a very successful player in the US transit bus market. The Phantom is one of the most common models found in both city transit and shuttle fleets. In the late 1990s, the Gillig low floor model known as the Advantage was introduced. Following in footsteps of the Phantom, the Advantage is becoming a popular model in its own right

New Bike Racks
New to the Transit Authority is the Bike rack on the front of the buses. The passenger will be responsible to load their own bikes on the rack. The passengers must visit the TAWC office to get certified to load their bikes. A certificate will be provided to all passengers after they have completed the 10 minute training on the bike rack.

PwD Program
TAWC is now accepting applications for the Persons with Disabilities (PwD) Program. The PwD program is available for qualified persons living outside the fixed-route system with a disability defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act. To better serve people with disabilities living in rural areas TAWC is providing discounted shared-ride services for eligible residents in all of Warren County.
