Work in Progress

Fargo, North Dakota

Valley Senior Services is a non-profit service offering transportation in the Fargo / Moorhead / West Fargo / Dilworth area for individuals age 60 and older. In Cass, Traill, Steele, Richland, Ransom, Sargent and rural Grand Forks counties, rides are provided to the general public. Trips are regularly scheduled and can be arranged to and within area communities. The senior transportation services were previously administered through the Fargo Park District, who still provide much of the funding for the program.

With the assistance of Federal Transporation Grant Dollars, a new vehicle storage dispatch facility is being constructed for the buses supporting the Valley Senior Services Transportation program. The 10,320 square foot building is constructed of insulated precast panels and will house large vans and medium size people-mover busses. The building is highly insulated, and heated with infloor heating to provide thermal mass for efficient heating and snow-melting off of the vehicles. Automated door operators and CO2/NO detectors for ventilation assure that operational heat loss is kept to minimum.

The project construction cost is $1.2 million dollars.
