Solution
Without the FTA funding for new vehicles, we have worked to refurbish existing equipment. Once a transit bus has met the useful life, the vehicle is refurbished with new flooring, seating, engine, transmission, interior lighting, ADA accommodations, and exterior painting. This extends the useful life of the vehicle and keeps it in a State of Good Repair. This initiative saves the client approximately 1/3 of the cost of a new vehicle.
The staff at Topper Transit are committed to providing safe, reliable, and efficient transit services to all WKU Faculty, Staff, Students, and Visitors!
