The objective of the project is to construct a new, modern bus maintenance and storage facility for up to 200 buses at 500 Arborway. The new facility will support a mixed fleet of battery electric buses and hybrid electric buses, with electrical service to support a 100% battery electric fleet.

The proposed project includes a new two-story indoor maintenance facility (46,000 SF), a new two-story operations facility (17,000 SF), charging infrastructure facility (16,000 SF), and a new one-story servicing and wash building (14,000 SF), as well as a parking canopy covering the up to 200 bus storage area. The parking canopy will be, at minimum, solar-ready. The project must accommodate approximately 200 parking spaces for employee vehicles (MBTA and employee owned) preferably on site. The scope of work also includes the demolition and abatement of the existing buildings on the 500 Arborway and 327 Forest Hills Street property
