Appendix Bus Fare Box TB06.pdf

This appendix document pertains to bus fare box specifications for a diesel transit bus procurement by Orange County's Department of Planning and Development in New York. The procurement encompasses the manufacturing and delivery of up to 31 initial heavy-duty, low-floor transit buses designated for three fixed-route systems operating in Middletown (managed by Shortline Transit LLC), Newburgh (managed by Newburgh Beacon Bus Corp.), and the Village of Kiryas Joel (managed by the Village of Kiryas Joel). Orange County reserves the right to exercise options for up to 36 additional buses subject to fund availability, with option pricing calculated using the specified price adjustment process. The buses are engineered for a twelve-year service life with a minimum operational capacity of 500,000 miles and designed to operate efficiently, economically, and dependably across Orange County's service environment while providing maximum accessibility, comfort, and safety for diverse passenger populations including children, adults, elderly passengers, and individuals with disabilities.

The specification document establishes quality standards through manufacturer references intended for descriptive purposes only and does not restrict vendor selection to specified brands. The fare box specifications contained within this appendix define technical requirements for the fare collection systems to be integrated into the specified transit buses. The procurement accommodates the operational needs of Orange County's contracted bus operators while establishing performance expectations for a modern, low-floor diesel transit bus configuration designed to meet the agency's transportation service requirements across multiple municipal jurisdictions.
