We know how to turn wrenches
Our experts take pride in having run maintenance shops for transit, public works, and coach operations across North America. Transit Pro USA has assembled a veteran team of maintenance experts who have continually developed their technical skills and ability to manage and inspire maintenance staff in union and non-union environments. Augmented with maintenance data scientists, we have been able to provide state of the art maintenance strategies for transit fleets.
Bus & Fleet Maintenance Plans
Maintenance plans have evolved with the introduction of new bus components and inspection regulations. Our experts have worked with various transit agencies to develop service intervals based on big data and work order systems and ensure compliance to regulatory requirements and manufacturer guides. Our process involves examining the three types of maintenance activity from preventative, corrective and opportunistic, and developing service intervals based on miles or hours operated. Moreover, maintenance key performance indicators (KPIs) are incorporated into these plans to ensure auditing and evaluation can be conducted. When introducing new fleet assets into operation, our staff work closely with transit stakeholders and OEMs to introduce optimal predictive maintenance practices.
Training & Standard Operating Procedures
Maintenance plans need to be communicated and adhered to. Transit Pro USA uses a group of maintenance trainers and e-learning platforms to allow mechanics to learn about these new components and technology. Our staff have decades of experience writing technical manuals for OEMs and agencies with simple and clear instructions, which can be turned into Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). SOPs are the backbone of high-quality consistent maintenance activities. Our team uses technology and learning gamification to encourage adoption of practices within your maintenance shops.
Maintenance Evaluations & Audits
Our inspectors work with senior transit agency management when performing maintenance evaluations and audits. Our audit approach involves clear guidelines and evaluation. We circulate our evaluation criteria to senior management and leadership before entering the premise. Our experts work through different processes during the audit to examine different garage activities from pre-trip inspection, and parts dispensing, to work order closing. This approach allows us to carry out sophisticated operational audits and build simulations to test changes in maintenance practices from a monetary and efficiency standpoint. Our report reviews and recommends maintenance targets and industry standard KPIs.
COVID19 Cleaning Plans
Our experts have worked with various transit agencies and medical facilities to provide cleaning and sanitation strategies throughout bus operations and end of day cleaning. We have worked with various cleaning products, sanitization methods (including UV Lights), and surface products (such as copper stanchions) to test the impact their impact on various hazards and virus lives. This research and data analysis has allowed us to develop robust cleaning protocols to ensure transit operations can continue during pandemics and other health hazards.
Fire & Accident Investigations
Bus fires are a significant concern in transit and fleet operations. Our experts have dealt with various thermal events across North America. Our team of specialists work with your local fire and accident investigation authority to review maintenance activities prior to the event. Our approach ensures that the vehicle has been properly quarantined and damaged components are sent to the proper labs for testing. After completing the investigation, we work to introduce improved maintenance and technology such as fire suppression systems. Our accident investigation approach includes re-creating elements of the accident using data gathered from vehicle telematics and interviews.
Parts & Supply Chain Strategy
Transit procurement strategies for parts and supply chain management require a comprehensive understanding local procurement rules and laws. Our team is augmented with procurement and maintenance specialist who have worked with transit agencies to develop various parts management strategies. We have experience with conducting and evaluating supply chain vendors. Moreover, we have worked with parts staff at transit agencies to provide optimal part storage layout, parts min/max levels and high-quality alternatives evaluation saving agencies 10-20% on their annual parts expenditures.
