The Cambria County Transit Authority (CamTran) in Johnstown, PA, recently dedicated seven new 35-foot Gillig buses, replacing older buses in the fleet that have reached the end of their their useful life. The new buses are accessible and operate with ultra-low-sulfur, low-emission diesel engines, as well as improvements to the exhaust system to limit carbon emissions.

“These new buses will help make the overall transportation experience more pleasant for our riders and in turn help us achieve our goal of providing the very best in customer service,” says CamTran Executive Director, Rose Lucey-Noll.

The buses cost a total of $2.7 million. Six of them were purchased with SAFETEA-LU funds, matched by state and local funds, and the other through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
