Vehicle Assignment <br />Vehicle assignment refers to the process by which transit vehicles are placed into service in depots and on <br />routes throughout the transit provider's system. Policies for vehicle assignment may be based on the age of the <br />vehicle, where age would be a proxy for condition. <br />Policy: Bus assignments shall take into account the operating characteristics of buses of various <br />lengths in relation to the operating characteristics of each route. The largest vehicles shall be assigned <br />to those routes that carry the highest number of passengers per revenue hour. Routes which require <br />tight turns on narrow streets may be assigned smaller vehicles that are more maneuverable. <br />Indian River County assigns vehicles based on the number of passengers along a route, vehicle seating <br />capacity, and vehicle maneuverability. Bus assignments and the distribution of equipment are <br />monitored to ensure that vehicle load/assignment policies are followed. All buses are wheelchair <br />accessible. <br />As of March 2020, the GoLine active fleet consists of the following vehicles: <br />Table 2 —Vehicle Capacity <br />55 <br /># of <br />Average <br />Average Seated <br />FY 18/19 <br />Make/Model <br />Type <br />Vehicles <br />Length <br />Age (Yrs) <br />Passenger <br />Ridership <br />Capacity <br />(Avg. per Route) <br />Gillig Low -Floor Bus <br />HeaB --Duty <br />2 <br />35' <br />7.0 <br />32 <br />158,205 <br />Gillig Low -Floor Bus <br />HeaB --Duty <br />4 <br />29' <br />5.3 <br />28 <br />98,362 <br />Champion Defender <br />Medium -Duty <br />2 <br />31' <br />1.5 <br />20 <br />79,533 <br />Cutaway <br />Turtle Top Odyssey <br />Light -Duty <br />2 <br />29' <br />4.0 <br />20 <br />72,715 <br />Cutaway <br />Champion Defender <br />Medium -Duty <br />2 <br />27, <br />2.0 <br />16 <br />57,763 <br />Cutaway <br />Turtle Top Odyssey <br />Light -Duty <br />3 <br />24' <br />4.0 <br />16 <br />32,251 <br />Cutaway <br />55 <br />
