The new buses will replace vehicles that have reached the end of their lives

The options form part of two five-year contracts with the RTC, which are supported by a mix of local and Federal Transit Administration funds and meet Buy America requirements supporting manufacturing jobs in the United States.

All buses in the order will replace end-of-life vehicles.

Chris Stoddart, President, North American Bus and Coach, NFI, said:
For more than three decades, New Flyer and RTC have partnered to deliver efficient and reliable transportation options tailored to the community’s evolving needs, delivering over 900 buses to date, with more than 500 utilizing low-emission CNG propulsion.

Xcelsior CNG buses offer an extended range of 350-400 miles. They are the ideal solution to meeting the demands of Southern Nevada commuters.
