Document Description
The proposed project is the redevelopment of an existing bus maintenance and
operations facility to add electric bus charging infrastructure. The project area is
cumulatively 1.23 acres of an 84.77-acre lot, situated on the north end of the Del Norte County Fairgrounds. The project area is currently used as a maintenance vehicle parking area with a bus wash bay. Development of the proposed project includes upgrade electrical service equipment, paved driveways for access and circulation, an asphalt parking lot with car and transit vehicle parking aisles separated by concrete electric vehicle (EV) charging islands, EV charging infrastructure, fence upgrades, access gates, backup generator pad, solar arrays, lighting, and landscaping. The new transit center will serve 6 EV Star+ model, fully electric buses, each with a battery capacity of 118 kWh, a range of 150 miles, and a fuel economy of 48 miles per gallon equivalent. These improvements will meet the mandated requirements to transition bus fleets to alternative energy sources and the project prioritizes improved facilities in an underserved rural community.
