The report provides an overview of the state-of-the-practice in design of bus garages and maintenance facilities, based on a review of 33 such facilities that have opened since 1975. The report examines how to size such facilities and presents data on allocation of space for administration, transportation, and maintenance services within overall floor space requirements. It also discusses size and space requirements for bus storage, servicing, circulation, and inspection, including the needs for bus parking space, maneuvering space, and service lane space. Heavy maintenance functions are also covered, including specialized heavy tasks, short-term vehicle storage, and (in large properties) central parts storage and workshops. Net present worth and annual costing techniques are presented as alternative procedures to select the best facility alternatives, and approaches to locating facilities are explored.
