The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) has awarded New Flyer of America Inc. (New Flyer) a new contract for 30 Xcelsior compressed natural gas (CNG) sixty-foot, heavy-duty transit buses, with options to purchase up to 100 additional buses.
RTC has since exercised 32 options. The new five-year contract is supported by Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funds.
“This new order with future potential option orders for up to 100 additional high-capacity CNG buses demonstrates RTC’s commitment to more sustainable and efficient transportation, and provides a transition point toward zero-emission mobility,” said Paul Soubry, president and CEO, NFI. “With over 13,000 CNG buses on the roads across North America, NFI is a CNG technology leader in mass mobility.”
The new CNG buses will replace end-of-life diesel vehicles with more efficient, low-emission mobility options, and deliver on RTC’s Access 2040 Regional Transportation Plan, focused on improving air quality and enhancing multimodal connectivity.
Construction on all four stations is beginning now and is anticipated to be completed by spring 2028.
