With no riders aboard, the scarcely-used Racquet Club bus stops at the equally rarely-used UC West bus stop (essentially just a sign post). RIT has since sold the Racquet Club to a private owner, so this route no longer exists. The stop is now served by the new B Lot - Campus route.

This picture is one from my ongoing series exploring the RIT transit system, which I am finally getting around to posting here.

DEFECT #1 - EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY


Posted on: 2019-02-21
Description
Eldorado national- kansas (eldorado) is recalling certain 2012-2018 goshen impulse, gcii, and pacer shuttle buses equipped with ricon s-series and k-series wheelchair lifts, models k200, k201, k550, k551, s200, s550, s551.  The wheelchair lift positioning input cam may fail while the lift is in use, allowing the platform to travel higher than the vehicle's floor height.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 403, platform lift systems.

Consequence
If the wheelchair lift platform stops above the vehicle floor, the wheelchair user can tip inwards toward the vehicle when exiting the lift, increasing their risk of injury.

Corrective Action
Eldorado will notify owners, and ricon dealers will replace the lift positioning input cam, free of charge.  The recall began march 29, 2019.  Owners may contact ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884.

Notes
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
