The investments will contribute to the ongoing implementation of the 58 projects and policies identified in Go Boston 2030, which is the city’s long-term transportation plan unveiled in 2017.
Under this extension of service, the company will continue to be responsible for a fleet of over 250 buses across 17 routes, operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
In approving Metro’s funding request, $202 million was allocated to the East San Fernando Valley Transit Corridor project, a high-capacity bus rapid transit or light rail project that will connect the Orange Line Van Nuys Station to the Sylmar/San Fernando Metrolink Station.
With more than 350 names submitted for consideration by the public, the agency approved naming the new project the Utah Valley Express, or UVX.
With a range of approximately 150 miles on a single charge and a capacity of up to 32 passengers, depending on configuration, the K9S is ideally suited for the needs of Baton Rouge.
The 18.5 mile Red Line will be the longest corridor in the network and nearly doubles the footprint of the existing First Coast Flyer system, connecting more people to jobs, education, healthcare, and entertainment.
The new 2018 models will join 14 other MCI Commuter Coaches the agency purchased in 2014 and 2015.
The buses will be used on OCTA’s Bravo! 529 Rapid Bus Service, which is Orange County’s rapid bus service that skips stops to decrease commute time.
MTS currently has 220 40-foot CNG New Flyer buses and 70 60-foot CNG articulated New Flyer buses in operation.
The 39 buses have been delivered to GRT, with the remaining 9 BRT buses scheduled for delivery in 2018.
