NJ TRANSIT NJ TRANSIT

Northern Bus Garage Project

Project Background:

NJ TRANSIT is experiencing significant growth in its bus ridership and demand, has its majority of bus fleet coming to the end of its service life, and is seeking to replace the existing diesel fleet with new ZEBs. NJ TRANSIT’s current bus maintenance facilities in Northern New Jersey are at capacity and cannot accommodate additional buses. To meet the increased demand in ridership and inclusion of additional ZEB vehicles, NJ TRANSIT is seeking to build a brand-new bus maintenance facility in northern New Jersey.


The Northern Bus Garage will be a large bus maintenance and storage facility with a capacity of approximately 500 buses. The facility is currently planned to accommodate 45-foot and 60-foot-long transit and commuter type buses with proper circulation aisles and take advantage of all modern labor-saving equipment and design features where possible. NJ TRANSIT desires a modern and energy efficient facility for management, service, maintenance, storage, and the rehabilitation of a portion of the NJ TRANSIT bus fleet.


NJ TRANSIT is looking to build a new facility (single or multiple buildings) that will include at minimum enclosed bus parking, service area and parts storage, bus maintenance bays, enclosed diesel fueling facility, bus washing facility, and administrative offices (offices, conference rooms, lockers, break rooms, restrooms, showers). In addition to the enclosed facility, the site will require on-site parking for employees and visitors, and bus snow removal equipment space.

 

Industry Forum Overview:

NJ TRANSIT held an Industry Forum for the Northern Bus Garage project on Monday, March 14, 2022. The Industry Forum provided participants with an overview of the Northern Bus Garage project and an opportunity to provide direct input to NJ TRANSIT to help shape the eventual procurement. The Industry Forum consisted of the following:

General Session – NJ TRANSIT shared an overview of the Northern Bus Garage needs and business opportunity in an open forum and answered questions that were submitted in advance.  

One-on-One Meetings – NJ TRANSIT held individual one-on-one meetings with interested parties following the General Session. Interested parties were required to verify that they met the eligibility criteria prior to requesting a meeting with NJ TRANSIT and were selected on a first come, first serve basis.
