Guidebook for Developing and Sharing Transit Bus Maintenance Practices

摘要

This guidebook contains detailed instructions on how a maintenance manager can develop a maintenance practice based on the local operating environment and provides seven case studies of specific maintenance practices developed using the guidebook process. Concurrent with the development of the guidebook, the research team enhanced an on-line Web Board sponsored by the Transportation Research Boards Committee on Transit Fleet Maintenance. This Web Board allows transit agencies to post their maintenance practices for others to review, revise as necessary for their own operating conditions, and use. The report provides instructions on how to access the Web Board and use it to develop maintenance practices and to share information on transit bus maintenance practices among transit agencies.
