Giant bays are prepared to house all 15 large buses and nine vans in the MACS Transit System.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - A ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday, June 25 marked the beginning of a new era for the Fairbanks North Star Borough Transportation Department , as the community was introduced to its brand-new facility.
Finally, attendees were allowed to come inside from the smoky morning conditions and tour the building at their own pace. “It has capacity to store all of our vehicles inside, our bus and transit vehicles,” said Borough Mayor Bryce Ward.In September or October of this year, the borough is expected to receive three large buses operated with compressed natural gas, the start of a complete replacement of the large bus fleet taking place over the next three years.
The borough has known about the need for a new facility for about 30 years, that need being “because of its age and because of the size. Basically it was no longer suitable for serving the needs of the community with our transit system, so FTA came on board to help us build a facility that will help meet those needs and then also meets current standards.”
