STORY

We have taken the liberty of preparing a conceptual site plan and diagram that illustrates some of our preliminary thoughts and ideas for the facility. We envision an efficient, practical, and inspired facility that combines maintenance and administrative functions on a single site that connects staff to the outdoors via shaded outdoor spaces and landscaping.

• We separated the compact site into four major zones: bus and non-revenue vehicle parking, bus maintenance, administration & operations, and bus washing. Grouping similar activities in the same zone will allow for more efficient operations and less back and forth travel across the site.

• Vehicle circulation was another primary driving force of site organization. Buses need to easily navigate the site and maneuver between parking, maintenance, and washing zones. We believe a complete drive-through access can help buses avoid difficult backups and U-turns on site, making for a safer environment. Bus and staff parking is located in one of the four site zones adjacent to Sandalwood Drive for easy access on/off the site

• Administrative offices are tucked towards the interior of the site to facilitate supervision of day-to-day operations • We included shaded outdoor areas for staff use. Landscape buffers add green space and separate the facility from future developments. Fencing and gates are being proposed at the perimeter of the entire site for safety and security of staff, vehicles, and buildings.

• Solar panel carports and Electric Vehicle Charging Stations are provided so the bus fleet can meet the California Air Resources Board (CARB) mandate of zero emissions for California bus fleets by 2040.
