Santa Cruz Metropolitan Transit District (Santa Cruz) has awarded a contract to Complete Coach Works (CCW) to rehab four New Flyer buses.
The rehabilitations are designed to enrich the passenger experience by delivering customers comfort and safety. The project will give new life to the buses for about half the cost of a new vehicle. The rehab process incudes the repair of structural, mechanical and cosmetic issues of the buses.
“The buses will provide the agency reliability and maintain its bus fleet in a state of good repair,” said CCW Regional Sales Manager Aaron Timlick.
The work includes repowering the buses with Cummins ISL-G Recon engines, as well as installing rebuilt Allison transmissions. Additional work includes new driver seats, internal/external LED lighting and new floors. The buses will then be repainted and decaled to reflect Santa Cruz’s branding.
CCW says it is proud to partner with Santa Cruz on this project.
“This project will increase service to Santa Cruz’s customers and provide operational savings while being kind to the environment,” Timlick said.
