Bus Engineering

We are hands-on consulting

We help various transit agencies, public sector fleets, and coach operators with bus engineering support. As transit agencies need to augment their engineering capabilities, our trained professionals are ready on demand to support the various needs of your bus engineering and maintenance departments. Our team uses the latest in technology and data to augment your engineering requirements. Our staff have combined inspected over 3,000 buses in the last two decades.

Bus Specification & Tender Support

Transit buses have evolved over the past few decades with the introduction of complex emission control systems and technology components through CAD/AVL and ITS systems. Our experts possess various backgrounds in maintenance, engineering, and electrical with decades of experience in writing technical specifications to meet your transit agency’s needs. Moreover, our approach is inclusive and customer centric design. We have interactive community input portals to help cities collect data from transit riders and residents on amenities and style. This can be incorporated into vehicle specification. As well, we hold bus design charettes with various stakeholders such as drivers, marketing, maintenance and elected officials with the objective of incorporating their feedback into final specifications. During the tender stage, our experts can assist with manufacturer questions and comments to find swift resolutions to ensure a high level of participation of bidders. Our experts have completed over 50 bus tenders over the last three decades, resulting in the purchase of over 15,000 transit buses.

Bus Inspection & Quality Assurance

To use FTA funds to purchase transit vehicles, FTA requirements for bus inspection and quality assurance are to be fulfilled. Don’t settle for un-trained and under paid inspectors. Our inspectors are located all across USA and Canada within close proximity to vehicle manufacturing facilities. Transit Pro USA uses advance inspection software during the vehicle build process to give you real time insights into production defects and resolution decisions. Our state-of-the-art solution can generate daily, weekly and monthly reports as needed for transit agencies to identify vehicle zones for defect trends and challenges within production stages. Our inspectors start each inspection project by creating a comprehensive process flow and RACI to ensure your production vehicle build is measured to the highest industry standards. Our inspectors wear a uniform and carry a tablet to monitor and capture the defects found during each vehicle build stage. During the PDI and testing stage, our inspectors monitor vehicle performance during the road test, and water test and compare it to client specifications. These tests are augmented by our inspectors’ decades of experience to improve the overall quality assurance process. We also have experience conducting Buy America Audit’s for various agencies.

Midlife Overhaul & Fleet Upgrade Support

Our experts work with your transit agency to develop comprehensive bus re-manufacturing scope of work and technical requirements. Our mid-life specifications are built upon comprehensive component lifecycle data. Moreover, during the bus dis-assembly process, our staff work with the awarded vendor to ensure a more comprehensive re-assembly of your city’s asset. Transit Pro USA has experts with decades of fleet maintenance experience, which provide total project support from specification, evaluations, on-site inspection, and final re-commissioning.
