Division 13 bus maintenance bays feature skylights and bright colored paint that provide reflected light, reducing the need for electricity. Division 13 will achieve a Gold Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating from the US Green Building Council and is Metro's sixth LEED building. Division 13 will serve as a bus maintenance, operations and service facility with a multi-level parking garage that accommodates 200 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses, fueling equipment, transportation offices and support areas. The facility, which incorporates many sustainable design features, received $53.2 million in federal funding toward the $120 million total project cost.
