One of the Nation's Top Wheelchair-Accessible & Senior Transport Bus Dealers

When a senior living facility, adult day care, or paratransit operator needs a wheelchair-accessible bus, they need a dealer who treats accessibility as a core business, not an occasional upfit. TESCO is one of the nation's top wheelchair-accessible and senior-transport bus dealers, and the numbers back that up.

How much accessible inventory does TESCO carry?

Wheelchair-accessible vehicles are TESCO's single largest inventory segment. Right now TESCO has 329 wheelchair-accessible units in stock, 183 new and 146 pre-owned, more than many dealers deliver in a year, spanning ADA minivans, mid-size shuttles, and full-size buses. You can browse every wheelchair-accessible unit currently available on our wheelchair-accessible inventory page.

On the low-floor side, TESCO has stocked and delivered more than 85 ARBOC low-floor buses, for customers in 9 states. Low-floor buses eliminate the lift entirely: a fold-out ramp and kneeling suspension let riders board at sidewalk height, which most senior living activity directors find faster, safer, and more dignified for mixed groups of walking and wheelchair-using residents.

What types of accessible vehicles does TESCO sell?

  • ADA minivans: Chrysler Voyager and Pacifica conversions with rear- or side-entry ramps, seating 3–5 plus one or two wheelchair positions. No CDL required.
  • Wheelchair shuttle buses: Ford E-350/E-450 and Chevrolet cutaways with Braun commercial lifts, typically 8–20 passengers plus 2–5 wheelchair positions.
  • Arboc low-floor buses: ramp-boarding, kneeling buses for senior living and transit-style service.
  • Ambulette and paratransit vans: Ram ProMaster and Ford Transit conversions for non-emergency medical transport. See our ambulette category.

Why do senior living facilities buy from TESCO?

Family-owned since 1968, TESCO pairs one of the country's largest accessible inventories with in-house financing, nationwide delivery, and a nationwide service network for lift and ramp service after the sale. Our assisted living buyer's page covers the models activity directors choose most.
