The agency is replacing many 40-foot models with MCI’s new generation of efficient coaches, which provide increased capacity with improved maintenance and operating costs.
The vehicles are replacing older models that significantly surpassed their 12-year useful life.
The operator has committed to green strategies throughout its offices, maintenance hubs, and service routes, and anticipates introducing battery electric to its operation by 2022.
Altogether, NJ TRANSIT has purchased over 2,000 coaches over three decades from MCI.
The contract permits authorized state and local Georgia public entitles to purchase the vehicles.
Coaches will serve Roam’s longest-distance route — a 45-minute commute — connecting the town of Banff and Lake Louise.
The original 2017 five-year agreement covers up to 112 MCI 45-foot, clean diesel-powered Commuter Coaches.
The latest MCI additions to CATS fleet feature the newest clean-diesel engine technology for near-zero emissions and improved fuel economy.
The first five Woodlands Township MCI Commuter Coaches were delivered in December of 2015, followed by 10 more coaches in March 2016, while Banff's Brewster Travel Canada has added 20 J4500s in 2016 and 2017.
The company’s three-decade relationship with NJ TRANSIT continued in November 2015 with the company winning a competitive procurement to manufacture and deliver up to 1,222 commuter coaches.
