THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The TDP calls for purchasing 10 paratransit vehicles and 8 fixed-route coaches in 2026, ordering 4 more coaches and 7 paratransit units, and continuing replacements through 2031. Many out-of-ULB cutaways and vans are still in service, and vehicle purchases rely on FTA 5339, Low-No, state, and local funds. OEMs and dealers for buses, cutaways, and ADA vans, plus upfitters and fueling/charging vendors, have a multi-year sales window before each order is bid or assigned via contracts.
Zero-emission fleet study recommends a mixed BEB/FCEB strategy; future procurements may include ZEB vehicles and charging or hydrogen systems.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
