 ### New Attributes
+Several new attributes were added to allow the user to configure how flexible fleet services are operated. These are all defined in the common [constants.yaml](https://github.com/SANDAG/ABM/blob/ABM3_develop/src/asim/configs/common/constants.yaml#L255-L273) file. Each attribute is defined as follow:
+
