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.

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. BC Transit in
Canada loaned Tri-Met the use of
the bus to familiarize customers,
operators and maintenance crews
about the new bus. This fall, Tri-Met
