Have you ever pulled into a facility and noticed its buses looking aged or beat up? Think about the effect your transportation equipment has and how it affects customers. It is especially important in senior or assisted living facilities, where transportation provides a sense of freedom for residents. When bringing loved ones to a new facility, seeing well-equipped buses in good condition will ensure you have made the right choice. Tidy transportation not only looks great, but it gives a clear impression of the community, and the care residents receive. The image of a new bus will also boost your brand’s reputation by projecting how it manages its business.
New buses will be more comfortable for residents with higher quality seating and enhanced climate control. It is also convenient for staff since newer buses have fewer maintenance issues. Generally, upgrading your bus is a safer and better experience for everyone. Upgrading your fleet will boost productivity and save money along the way. You might as well take some stress off your shoulders!
Smart Fleet Management Boosts Efficiency For Your Facility
Newer buses may also be more environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient compared to older buses. Many offer improved designs and enhancements with modern technology like hybrid or electric powertrains. These help optimize your vehicle’s fuel consumption, saving you money over time. There are also recent technologies that allow you to track your fleet and view advanced data analytics. Not only does this improve your fleet efficiency, but it may also improve safety. With a new bus comes upgrades like advanced braking systems and better visibility. Furthermore, having a reliable bus will become especially important if an emergency occurs.
Do Not Forget About the Tax Benefits
Upgrading your facility’s bus is a tax deduction that can save thousands of dollars. With the Section 179 tax deduction, a business can reduce taxable income by up to $1.2 million. This includes eligible equipment that a facility bought new in the specific tax year. Occasionally there are even bonus depreciation offers when you buy new or used vehicles.
A New Bus Enhances Functionality
A new bus will not only be a tool for transporting residents but also a way to increase your brand’s visibility. Having a bus less than five years old will provide a sense of pride within your community. Your bus should have less than 75,000 miles and be free of damage or discoloration. Nobody wants to ride in a rusted or pitted bus showing obvious signs of unreliability. If that resembles your transportation situation, we are here to help replace your old equipment.
