Exhibit 1 - Taxicab Features, Options & Vehicle List
ULEV Vehicles (Ultra-Low Emission Vehicles)
City of Glendale
G&S Transit Management, Inc. is extremely proud of that fact that 66% of our taxicabs are 2003
year model or newer. All these vehicles are Ultra Low Emission Vehicles (ULEV), they are
environmentally friendly, consuming lel?s gas and producing less air pollution. We will continue to
purchase ULEV or Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicles (SULEV) when existing older vehicles are
due for replacement.
Non-smoking Vehicles
Vehicles will be identified with smoking Of no-smoking decals. The status will also be entered into
the ~mputer dispatching system so that callers with a preference can likewise be designated.
Radio System
G&S transmits from independent radio towers on numerous available radio frequencies, link.ed to
G&S by redundant, dedicated telephone circuits. Each vehicle has a minimum of four radio
frequency ohannels (two voice and two data), allowing communication to continue in the event of a
channef or hardware problem. All radio transmissions are duplex, allowing send and receive
communication simultaneously (and therefore increasing radio transmission efficiency over simplex
methods). An automatic number identification system provides the dispatcher a digital readout of
the vehicle transmitting. Radio coverage extends throughout the proposed service area. Besides
the radio towers, G&S maintains a back.up tower and transmitter on the site. Employees are trained
on the procedur_es for operation of the auxiliary radio system. Ample FCC licensed radio
frequencies are available for this service.
Two of the radio frequencies will be devoted to digital transmission (with the remainder for
additional communication via voice). G&S proposes digital communication to Mobile Data
Terminals, allowing trip information and other data communication to be sent directly to the
in-vehicle data terminal. Drivers can also digitally communicate back to the dispatcher or the base
station computer, utilizing the keypad on the data terminal. The base station computer can then
communicate witll other computers via data, such as telephone automated attendant information,
credit card companies, etc.
Vehicle Technologies and Security Systems
In addition to the proposed mobile data terminal and radio system in each taxicab as previously
discussed, G&S proposes standardized, state of the art taxicab technology for each taxicab's
meter, top lights, shields and other devices. AU win meet or exceed all City of Glendale
requirements.
