The Magic Bus is Here!
4 - 5:30 p.m.
Willow A, Level 2
Discover how your organization will benefit from the
new industry standard for procuring new buses.
Through the hard work of a large number of public and
private sector APTA members and financial support from
the FTA, the Standard Bus Procurement Guidelines have
been updated with revised commercial terms and new
technical specifications. Now transit agencies can utilize
an
updated RFP document to purchase transit buses.
This session will provide transit agency procurement and
operations staff with an overview of the changes and how
the new guidelines can be used. It will also be an important
session for private sector OEMs and sub-suppliers to
understand how they benefit from adoption of the new
guidelines.

Committee, and vice president, AECOM Consult, New York, NY
