At the Toledo Area Regional Transit Authority (TARTA), a 3000 series bus cleaning system was installed by NS Corporation capable of washing up to 60 buses per hour.
Customer Background
TARTA oversees public transport services throughout the Toledo, Ohio, Metropolitan area. This organization delivers reliable public transport services between communities and other key locations throughout the area, like places of work, educational institutions, and hospitals. This transit authority needed to find a reliable wash solution for its fleet of fixed-route buses and Flex vans while ensuring minimal downtime.
The Challenge
TARTA had a bus wash system that was giving the organization operational issues because it had been used for more than 50 years. As equipment gets older, various problems can happen, like reduced reliability, lower operational efficiency, and the need for frequent maintenance. The transit agency needed a modern and reliable cleaning solution that could efficiently wash the buses and Flex vans each day.
The NS Corporation Solution
To provide a solution for the aging equipment, NS Corporation modernized TARTA’s bus cleaning capabilities by installing a high-performance 3000 Series system. This system is capable of cleaning high volumes of buses per hour.
Fleet Wash Tailored to TARTA
As part of TARTA’s daily operations, the bus wash system was customized to clean about 50 fixed-route buses while also accommodating the Flex vans. By leveraging proven bus wash technology, NS Corporation built a reliable, high-capacity solution tailored to the long-term fleet requirements and needs of the agency.
Results
Now that the upgraded system has been installed, TARTA has better wash quality and greater uptime. The transit agency can now clean about 50 buses per day alongside its Flex vans. The upgrade improved operational efficiency, enabling reliable daily fleet cleaning and support for long-term maintenance of the bus and large vehicle cleaning system at TARTA.
