Pros of DT leasing year round vans compared to leasing vans for 5 months
35
vans have low-profile roofs as requested and are uniform - they're looking for Nissans (like we have for winter 2021-22) and Ford Transits (like we had for winter 2022-23)
36
vans can fit in the garage, parking outdoors was a big issue winter 2022-23 as they got buried in snow
37
remove the unknown of what vans we will have each year
38
better quality control as Mountaineer is the only user
39
opportunitiy to provide services to partners outside of winter - not TART Connect (offsetting van costs / increase MTC partner fees)
40
lower extension cost if MTC wants to operate past operating schedule closure date
41
spread out van costs over 12 months vs 5 months helps with MTC cash flow
