Grantee: City of Decatur <br /> PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND JUSTIFICATION <br /> This project is the purchase to two 35-foot, low floor buses for route service by th <br /> Decatur Public Transit System. These vehicles will replace two Flxible 870 buses <br /> that were purchased in 1979 and have been in service since then. These vehicles <br /> are approximately nine years beyond their FTA-authorized maximum service life. <br /> They each have an average lifetime mileage of over 400,000 miles and require <br /> constant maintenance. The Flxible buses will be taken from service and disposed <br /> of as soon as the replacement vehicles are received and placed into service. <br /> Replacement of these very old vehicles will enable Decatur Public Transit <br /> System to more effectively use its limited maintenance budget and provide the <br /> customers with attractive, modern and trouble-free vehicles. <br />
