ANSONIA - The Valley Transit District is replacing its 2012 Ford E-450 fleet as per Federal Transit Authority guidelines and Mayor David S. Cassetti and staff seized the opportunity to acquire the van. 
Senior center director Jeff Coppola has identified the need for a van for seniors so more activities can be planned and to make transportation readily available for our seniors.
The Ford E-450 buses are all equipped with W/C lifts and meet all ADA requirements for passenger transportation. All VTD vehicles have followed strict preventative maintenance guidelines throughout their service as required by the Federal Transit Administration and the Connecticut Department of Transportation.

The van, which cost $5,000, was paid for with Economic Development Funds.
The van is being detailed and the City Seal will be placed on it.
Stay tuned for a ribbon cutting with seniors, Elderly Commission and residents!
