This is an Approved Equals document for Wisconsin's procurement of 40-foot low floor diesel transit busses. The document lists manufacturers and models that have been approved as equal alternatives to the primary specification, allowing bidders to propose equivalent vehicles that meet the same performance and technical requirements established for the transit bus acquisition.

The approved equals listing expands procurement flexibility by identifying comparable diesel transit bus models from various manufacturers that satisfy the state's specifications for low-floor design, passenger capacity, emissions standards, and operational requirements. This approach enables competitive bidding while maintaining quality and performance standards, ultimately providing Wisconsin with multiple qualified options from which to select vehicles that best meet the state's transit needs and budget parameters.
