The Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) sponsored this study to survey and analyze bus rehabilitation as an alternative and supplement to new bus procurement, as well as to evaluate the needs and experiences of the transit industry regarding the rehabilitation or rebuilding of older buses as a means of capital improvement. This report reviews the scope and service of sixteen firms providing bus rehabilitation services for the mass transportation industry and the various rehabilitation projects undertaken by seventeen transit operators. In addition, the report addresses the following: (1) results of operating rehabilitated buses and the involvement of State DOTs; (2) comments from members of the transit industry regarding UMTA's bus rehabilitation policy; (3) a suggested list of work tasks and guidelines for rehabilitation projects; (4) cost of rehabilitating a twelve year old bus for a five-year life extension; and (5) demand for bus rehabilitation and the rebuilding capacity of both contractors and transit operators.
