Transit Buses 2022

completed

The City of Whitehorse’s Transit Services fleet currently consists of 13 low floor fully accessible 40-foot diesel buses. The age of the fleet ranges from 2006 to the most recent bus replacements acquired in 2021. This project involves the addition of two 40-foot fully accessible buses to the City’s existing fleet to complement our reserve fleet and meet the needs of a growing city with expanding transit service. The reserve fleet serves multiple functions such as vehicle substitution during regular maintenance, emergency situations such as accidents or unexpected breakdowns, driver training and the flexibility to modify transit service provide on relatively short notice. Additional buses will maintain the capacity of the public transit infrastructure in our growing City by ensuring service levels are maintained, providing flexibility to modify and modernize routes and ensuring routine and unexpected maintenance can be accommodated to maximize the service life of the fleet.
