This project provides for the systematic replacement of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), mechanical systems, and electrical systems at the Brookville Maintenance Facility (BMF) Transit shop, which is a major maintenance and repair facility for the Ride On bus fleet. This is the site for the Brookville Smart Energy Bus Depot, an integrated microgrid and electric bus charging infrastructure project.

Design and construction of the Bus Repair Bay will be completed in FY26 and FY27. Improvements to the Bus Wash Bay will be completed in FY28.

Brookville HVAC (Building D) is a major maintenance and repair facility for the Ride On bus fleet. Without proper heating and cooling, employees will not be able to work inside the facility. This is both a safety and health concern to ensure proper air circulation to eliminate air-borne diseases. The current system is at least 40 years old and has failed repeatedly over the last several years. Attempts to temporarily fix the system have been made, but failure is imminent within approximately two years.

Short-term financing to be provided by the Montgomery County Green Bank.
