With the economy being what it is these days, many people are turning to repairing and maintaining the things they have rather than paying higher prices to buy new equipment.  The transportation industry is no exception.

Buses are a long-term investment, so it makes sense to maintain and repair them to maximize their useful lifespan.

At Transit Plus, we can get the parts you need, whether you bought your bus from us or not.  We represent the following bus manufacturers:  Champion, Glaval and Starcraft.

We also represent the following bus accessory suppliers:  Ricon Wheelchair Lifts, Braun Wheelchair Lifts, Maxon Wheelchair Lifts, ACC Industries, Carrier A/C, Thermo King, Transportation Safety Technology, Intermotive Vehicle Controls, Mor/Ryde, REI (Radio Engineering), Q’Straint, Sur-Lok, Stryker and A & M Systems.

FVPP (Florida Vehicle Procurement Program) customers can call  904-241-6004 or 1-800-373-2143 and speak with Nicole MacIntosh.  Non-FVPP customers can call the same phone numbers and ask for Lowell Nelsen. They will be happy to assist you.

So, think of Transit Plus the next time you need parts for your buses!

Last week, we highlighted our rebate programs for government-funded facilities and businesses.  This week, we have something special for facilities and businesses that are privately funded.

Did you know that if you are a facility or business that has licensed medical staff (Doctor, LPN, RN, etc.), you may qualify for not only fleet pricing on handicapped-equipped vehicles, but also group discounts on the rest of your medical supplies?

If you are already a member of a group purchasing plan, we may be able to qualify you for fleet pricing through your existing group.

There are many programs available to help make your purchase of a new handicapped-equipped van or bus even more affordable.  Be sure to ask your Transit Plus salesman to show you how you can save money on your next vehicle purchase.

Greetings from Transit Plus!

This week, we are on a mission to save you money!  Did you know that if you are a transportation company or a facility that provides its own transportation, and you derive more than 50% of your revenue from a government source (Medicaid, Medicare, Veterans Administration, etc.), you may qualify for extra rebates?

Transit Plus, Inc., in cooperation with the government and our manufacturers, can provide you with a quote for new vehicles which includes these rebates.  The amount of the rebate varies from state-to-state.

So, be sure to ask your salesperson about how you can qualify for this great rebate program.  We will be happy to give you all the information necessary to save big on your next vehicle purchase.

Welcome to the Transit Plus blog!  We hope everyone had wonderful holidays.  Now, it’s a new year, and in business as in our personal lives, it’s time to make some resolutions.

Transit Plus’s resolution for this year is to rededicate ourselves to providing the best products and the best customer service in the industry.  We have looked at what we’ve done in the past and retained the things that enhance our product line and our customer’s buying experiences.  We also will be changing some things that maybe haven’t worked as well for us, and finding new and different ways to attain our goal of 100% customer satisfaction.

To that end, we are creating this blog to bring you the latest information on issues important to the transportation industry, special product features and news of interest.  This is a new and exciting venture for us and we look forward to providing you with information you can really use.

Look for weekly blog updates (on Fridays) as well as special posts from time-to-time as a situation or topic warrants.  If you have any comments, questions or suggestions, please email them to us at blog@transitplus.com.  We would love your input.

Also, we will soon be establishing a bi-weekly newsletter, which will have more in-depth information and features.  If you are interested in receiving our newsletter, please visit our website at http://www.transitplus.com and sign up to be added to our distribution list.

Happy, Safe and Prosperous New Year to all from the staff at Transit Plus!
