Program Description

  Transit Equipment Services

Transit Equipment Services (TES) provides scheduled and non-scheduled maintenance and repair of the Ride On Bus fleet at three locations: Brookville Maintenance Facility (BMF), Equipment Maintenance and Transit Operation Center (EMTOC), and Small Transit Shop (STS). TES supports FLASH, the County's bus rapid transit system with features that improve reliability and capacity; FLEX, an on-demand transit service that helps residents get around in defined Rockville and Glenmont/Wheaton zones; and the County's ongoing transition to a zero-emission bus fleet. TES implemented a contractor-based preventive maintenance business model which supplemented operations and increased capacity to meet federally mandated maintenance requirements. The transit technician onboarding and training program has contributed to improved equipment availability and injury reduction.
