Green Project Tour: FCRTA New Operations and Maintenance Facility Construction Tour

Join us for a tour of the new Fresno County Rural Transit Agency (FCRTA) Operations and Maintenance Facility. This new 7.5-acre facility in the City of  Selma will feature a 10,000-square-foot maintenance building, a 5,000-square-foot  office, a bus wash, three solar bus ports,  32 charging units—including wireless and  in-ground options—a solar field, a gas  generator, and a battery backup energy  management system. Once completed,  this project will centralize the FCRTA fleet  and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by  utilizing electric vehicles and solar energy,  decreasing reliance on fossil fuels.

The construction of this new operations and  maintenance facility will service the entire  rural county to which FCRTA provides public  transit services, including underserved  communities and unincorporated areas.  Benefits include providing a centralized  operations and maintenance center; providing  safe and convenient transportation and  circulation for the 122-vehicle fleet; providing  new technology with solar, EV charging,  and battery backup on site; and improving  economic development opportunities  through these infrastructure enhancements.

Safety: This is a tour of an active construction site. For safety reasons we require that tour attendees wear long pants (legs covered) and sturdy, flat closed-toe shoes (no ballet flats, high heels, or canvas shoes).
