apy,
It seems that this is for all their transports, this will significantly reduce their need to rely on fundraising, it also seems that other areas including Catskills Hatzolah have been doing this for a longer period of time, for all their transports.
Not sure if this played a factor, but from what I heard Hatolahs communication system is very outdated and an upgrade would be more than 20 million dollars, this is just one item on the list that is a direct result of being limited to fundraising for their expenses.
