ADA Compliant Transits, Minivans & Buses for Schools Wisconsin & Illinois

Every student deserves every opportunity — and the right vehicle helps make that possible, whether a student uses a wheelchair or is ambulatory. We specialize in providing school districts with safe, accessible, ADA-compliant buses, full-size transits and minivans designed to maximize both student capacity and accessibility. And because your time is valuable, we streamline the entire purchasing process — no travel needed; we'll come to you. Sales, service, and support across Wisconsin and Illinois. If buying doesn't fit this year's budget, you can lease — compliant school transits start at $1,150/month.*

Can schools lease compliant transportation vehicles?

Yes. Wisconsin and Illinois schools can lease from A&J Commercial instead of buying — a compliant 10-passenger Ford Transit leases starting at $1,150/month,* and lease options are also available on our ADA-compliant 10-passenger transit and wheelchair-accessible Chrysler minivan. Spreading the cost over several years keeps upfront outlay low and turns student transportation into a predictable line item your board can plan around.

Why school districts choose to lease:

• Lower upfront cost. No large capital outlay in a single budget year — funds stay available for programs and staff.
• Predictable budgeting. A fixed monthly payment holds steady across fiscal years, which makes board approval and long-range planning simpler.
• Fits operating budgets. A lease payment can often be handled within the annual operating budget rather than waiting on a capital purchase cycle.
• A newer, safer fleet. Shorter replacement cycles mean students ride in current-generation vehicles with current safety equipment.
• End-of-term flexibility. Return the vehicle, renew, or purchase it at lease end. [Confirm the end-of-lease options your lender offers.]
• One predictable cost, if you want it. Pair the lease with an A&J fleet maintenance plan and your total cost per vehicle is known to the dollar.

How much does it cost to lease a school transit van?
