| ALTOONA TESTING REQUIREMENTS |
| 10.01 |
| All dealer/manufacturers must be Altoona tested and certified if applicable (Altoona testing is not required only when exempted documentation is provided to the contract administrator from the FTA).The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) requires vehicles to go through Altoona testing requirements when federal funding is being used to purchase vehicles. Modified wheelchair-accessible vehicles typically have dropped floors and revised suspensions. These are major changes from the stock vehicle and therefore Altoona testing is required. The requirement for Altoona testing would depend on the extent (if any) to which the vans are modified from the stock configuration. If vans have had only limited modifications (e.g., adding a lift or raised roof) performed in strict compliance with the Manufacturer’s Vehicle Modification Guidelines, then the Bus Testing Regulation (49 CFR Part 665) would consider them to be "unmodified mass-produced vans" and they would be exempt from Bus Testing ("Altoona testing") requirements. Vehicles must meet a minimum performance standard to receive an overall passing score and be eligible for purchase using FTA financial assistance. Vehicles that fail to meet performance standards would be ineligible for purchase with FTA and WSDOT funds and ineligible for purchase on DES Statewide contract 07621 until the failures are resolved. |
