Tri-Met unveils future fleet Air conditioning and low floor buses coming to a bus stop near you Tri-Met General Manager Tom Walsh, along with two customers with disabilities, today demonstrated the new fleet of the future - low floor buses. These buses allow faster and easier boarding for all passengers. Walsh added that Tn-Met plans to include air conditioning for all new buses ordered, and that all existing MAX light rail trains will be retro fitted for air conditioning. The Tri- Met Board of Directors will vote on the mater at its June 25 meeting. Diversity A dverii Advertise In WTe B o rtla u h (.Obstrue C a )3-288-(flfê3 fJb will receive its first order of low floor buses — 22 in total. Addition ally, 65 high floor buses will also be delivered this fall. All new buses, including the 87 being delivered this fall, will in clude air conditioning. Walsh is also committed to retrofitting the 26 ex isting MAX light rail cars with air conditioning. It’s estimated that ret rofitting each MAX car will cost around $140,000, and should be complete by the time Westside MAX opens in September 1998. “Our goal is to provide quality service for all of our customers, Walsh said. “This includes having reliable accessible service, as well as air conditioning for our passengers. We believe that adding these fea tures will help to keep our custom ers, as well as attract new ones.” Tri-Met is now operating a low floor bus for three weeks on Line 15- NW 23rd/Mt. Tabor.
