Approximately 70% of the <br />population of Sunny Isles Beach are senior citizens who do not, or <br />should not be driving. Among these residents, and visitors, are <br />frail and/or disabled individuals who have difficulty accessing a <br />vehicle that is not handicapped accessible. The vehicle used to <br />provide the new innovative local circulator service, will have a <br />ramp to facilitate the boarding of the disabled and elderly. <br /> <br />The use of this vehicle will offer additional transportation options <br />to the transportation disadvantaged, and will reduce the number of <br />costly ADA paratransit trips. <br />
