This TCRP Digest summarizes the findings of TCRP Project E-1, "Innovative Maintenance Procedures for Transit Buses". The objectives of TCRP Project E-1 were to survey innovative maintenance practices being used in transit agencies or in transportation-related private firms, to evaluate their applicability to the population of transit agencies in the United States, and to develop recommendations and strategies for implementation. No specific area of focus was specified at the onset of the project. Work was executed in two phases: the first was a general survey of candidate new practices; the second was a more detailed study of several candidates identified in the first phase of research. The candidate innovations were grouped into three resource areas--capital, labor, and information. This Digest includes two appendices: (A) Identification of Effective Practices from Site Visits and (B) Phase II Case Studies. |
