1. Confirming that wheelchair vehicles are not needed?

Approximately 5% of rides will likely need wheelchair accommodations.

2. PWS: Page 1, para 1: Where is the pick-up area located? What composes the "Butler VA catchment area." How many miles from Butler VA?

Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission (PA-PUC) sets regulatory standards:

4. Page 4: Is transportation during business days/hours only?

Majority of rides will be during business hours, but we are open to considering companies who can expand their scope to weekends and/or before/after stated business hours.

5. Page 5: Confirming that the Contractor receives 24 hours’ notice for trip and has the right to deny or accept?

We will typically give at least 72 hours’ notice for a requested ride with the expectation of a confirmation that the ride can be accommodated is within 24-hours of request. There may be instances that we request a ride with less notice with the understanding that those rides may not always be accommodated. We do have the expectations that with the 72-hour notice that most rides requested should be accommodated.

6. How many miles per day on average will a driver be expected to drive? The need may vary so a specific determination can not be made.
