The Lane Transit District is working to roll out the first of their newest fleet of electric buses
Matt Imlach, LTD’s Fleet Maintenance Director, said:
“A few weeks ago, we were on-site at the manufacturer to inspect the first of the New Flyer buses to be delivered to LTD. At this point, the electric buses are scheduled to arrive on time and within budget. Just like test driving a new private vehicle, LTD bus operators and the fleet maintenance team put new buses through their test paces to ensure the vehicle is ready for our system on the road and in the shop.”
He also mentioned that after the new electric buses arrive in Eugene from the manufacturing facility in Alabama, it will be a few months before they are put into regular service.
A few months ago, the LTD Board of Directors voted unanimously to improve the purchase of eleven of these new electric transit buses, along with the depot chargers that would support the electric bus infrastructure.
The $10.6 million purchase is funded through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Low or No-Emission fund, and LTD general funds.
