James River Transportation recently added to its fleet of vehicles and enhanced its GPS tracking technology. The company added six Ford Flex crossovers and two Ford vans to its Norfolk Airport operation to replace vehicles being retired. The crossovers have extended legroom for added passenger comfort, and the vans have center aisles to facilitate loading and unloading of passengers.

James River also added a 55-passenger, wheelchair-equipped MCI model to its motorcoach fleet, to address increasing customer needs for such vehicles, as well as a new 32-passenger Ford minicoach, to provide additional fleet capacity and increase the options available to customers.

In addition, the company installed DriveCam’s GPS tracking system in all of its vehicles. The system features include online tracking showing current location and vehicle speed, automatic alerts if a vehicle exceeds the posted speed limit, and vehicle trip history to show exact routes and times.

James River Transportation was also recognized as a “Top-Tier Wedding Professional” by Richmond Bride Magazine in their Winter/Spring 2013 edition.
