Van route capacity

Definition

How many participants the center's own vehicles can collect in a morning, which caps census.

Why It Matters

Census is the revenue and most participants do not drive, so the vans decide how many can attend before demand does. Adding one route means a vehicle, a driver, a longer morning for everyone already riding, and often a licensing question. Ask how many participants ride, how many routes run, how full each is, and what the wait looks like in neighborhoods the vans do not reach today.
