All-time roster of DASH vehicles

Because of constraints in the current Maintenance & Operations Facility, DASH only uses vehicles from two manufacturers, Orion and Gillig, and is essentially restricted to 35', 96", high-floor buses. A new M&O facility will be completed in October 2009 that will allow the company to introduce low-floor diesel-electric hybrid buses, possibly including 40' buses, into its fleet.
