Body
STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE:
Goal - Safe and Secure Operations
Initiative - Service Quality
These passenger vehicles will enhance service quality by replacing older full size passenger vehicles that have higher maintenance costs and emissions. These vehicles will replace support vehicles located at each of the Divisions.
BUDGETARY/FISCAL IMPACT:
The procurement is included in the current approved Capital Budget with a budget of $450,000 in District funds.
BACKGROUND/RATIONALE:
The District operates a fleet of non-revenue vehicles to support operations and all departments, including on-street supervision, parts delivery, emergency response, facilities, equipment and bus stop maintenance, operator relief, mail delivery, and other various administrative functions. In compliance with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Transit Asset Management (TAM) Final Rule, the District established a capital procurement program to govern the acquisition and disposal of non-revenue vehicles. The TAM Final Rule requires transit providers to set State of Good Repair (SGR) performance targets for non-revenue vehicles. Currently the District has ninety-four (94) non-revenue vehicles beyond the useful life and fifty-two (52) non-revenue vehicles within the useful life. The table below shows the purchase year, age, and quantity of active non-revenue vehicles.
