Book Description
This study explores, from the point of view of transit management, desirable procurement requirements or procedures to ensure the long-term structural integrity of urban buses. The study incorporates an extensive literature review, a review of the extent of structural problems based on interviews with transit system managers and bus manufacturers, the development of a standard definition of structural failure, a review of current specification practices, and on-site visits to testing, research, and manufacturing facilities in Canada and the United States. Sections of the study cover structural integrity and failure, causes of structural failure such as corrosion and fatigue, structural integrity assurance, recommended strategies such as warranty provisions and transit system quality assurance, strategy costs, strategy implementation, and future research and studies. Appendices include guidelines for specifications, a summary of the literature review, and a report on the corrosion mechanism, types of corrosion, and corrosion control strategies.

Book Description
This synthesis will be of interest to transit agency staff and those who work with them in dealing with common wheelchair securement on transit buses. It offers information on existing programs in many countries and documents transit agency experiences for the benefit of others considering similar deployments, in particular with respect to the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) and to its use in U.S. Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems. The report describes the state of the practice with respect to the use of rearfacing position for accommodating common wheelchairs (as defined by the ADA) on large transit buses (more than 30,000 lb) and identifies pertinent issues related to its transferability to the U.S. context.
