The new bus storage facility is approximately 135,000 sq. ft. and can accommodate up to 153 regular 40 foot transit buses. The garage was built to meet our anticipated fleet expansion over the next 20-30 years.

The facility, which took under two years to construct, was built as a Design-Build process and cost approximately $22 million. The building, targeting LEED Silver Certification, was built using energy and environmental design features.
