abstract="The Regional Transportation Commission of Clark County, Nevada, which serves the fast-growing Las Vegas metropolitan area, hopes to keep up with growing demands on its bus fleet with a new integrated bus maintenance facility. The $35 million project, which boasts environmentally friendly equipment and energy-saving lighting, is the largest federally funded bus maintenance facility in the nation. It consists of a 10-building complex on a 36-acre (15-ha) site in North Las Vegas. A fixed-route maintenance garage for 238 diesel buses and a paratransit garage for 134 compressed natural gas (CNG) buses are attached to the original shop, which has been converted to a preventive maintenance, fueling, and storage garage. In addition to its maintenance equipment, the new fixed route transit facility includes a diesel fueling area and a vault for fare revenues. The paratransit facility features a &quot;fast-fill&quot; CNG fueling station that greatly reduces fueling time. Each garage also has a bus wash area, administrative offices, and a dispatching facility.<p />",
