Cost Analysis

What does your transportation really cost?

Tell us three things. We build your full loaded transportation cost the way PACE programs actually run, then show you how much of it sits below the surface as overhead most operators never isolate.

Your program

Three inputs. Adjust any assumption below to match your reality.

Not counting spares. We add backups below.

Build or partner

Run it in house and every line above and below the surface is fixed overhead you carry whether the vans are full or not. Partner and most of it converts to a variable rate that moves with your census. The lines that hurt most when you self operate are the ones below the surface, the burden, the backups, the turnover, and the compliance.

Insurance you do not underwrite Backups you do not own Turnover you do not chase Compliance you do not staff

Want a clean copy of this, and a second read?

Enter your details and we will follow up to pressure test this against your real routes and census. Your numbers come with you, so the conversation starts from your reality, not a blank page. You can keep a copy of everything above as a PDF anytime.

This analysis builds a full loaded cost from the three figures you entered and the prefilled assumptions shown at left, which reflect typical PACE transportation operations. It is a planning estimate to frame the conversation, not an audit or a quote. Your real numbers depend on your routes, participant mix, service area, and local labor and insurance market. Bring your actuals and we will model them with you.
