2022 - Bus Maintenance

Funding for this project will provide for an ongoing capital maintenance program that consists of tasks necessary to keep buses in service through systematic inspection, detection, and prevention of incipient failure. CTA’s scheduled maintenance program consists of planned preventive maintenance work to maintain bus performance. While major overhaul work is performed on a mid-life cycle basis, additional focused maintenance work is required at certain intervals, outside of the mid-life overhaul, during the life of buses. When certain maintenance tasks are needed to repair or replace, before it reaches its end of useful life and failing with an increased frequency, specific component campaign work is conducted.
