The City of Tucson, Ariz. and Sun Van, the city’s award-winning paratransit service, introduced 35 new Sun Van vehicles, which will replace aging vehicles and improve the overall quality of Sun Van’s fleet.
All vehicles are now in service, they were received at the end of June, decreasing the average age of the fleet from 2.47 years to 2.1 years.
