To combat a shortage in qualified maintenance technicians, Razorback Transit teamed with NWTI to create an internship-type program.
The expanded service is possible thanks to an additional $55,000 in funding from the city of Fayetteville this year.
The new feature can show any bus route, where the bus is on any selected route and where it is going, with the position updated every 10 seconds.
While some university and college transit operators have been able to continue offering fare-free transit service to students, other systems, faced with operation cost increases, have had to raise transit pass prices.
The Orion VII buses have a high passenger capacity, wide doors, a low-floor design and a kneeling feature that make boarding easy and fast to maintain service efficiency.
Transit program is receiving $1.26 million in stimulus funding, most of which will be spent to procure three new buses at a cost of about $332,000 each, for a total of $996,000.
