Added ValueDue to recessionary budget issues, TriMet turned to Penske to help extend the life of its fleet.TriMet asked Penske if they could get more out of each vehicle and extend vehicle life from six years to 10 years. That meant older vehicles would have to be maintained up to 370,000 miles and Penske would be responsible for the maintenance. Penske agreed to the challenge, and delivered.A Successful PartnershipSince 1999, Penske has been under contract to maintain TriMet’s paratransit fleet. Because of Penske’s ability to help TriMet meet its preventive maintenance and fleet reliability compliance goals, the initial contract was renewed, even with a second competitive bid. Since Penske has taken over fleet maintenance responsibilities, TriMet has had full compliance with all its service goals at a competitive price. |
