Metro Transit plans to use some of the federal stimulus funding available through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to purchase 90 replacement buses.
On Monday , the agency will ask the Transportation Committee to approve a request to existing contract with New Flyer of America to purchase 29 articulated buses.
The Met Council awarded a contract with New Flyer in December of 2006 for 10 articulated buses; that contract included an option to buy up to 55 additional articulated buses.
The other replacement buses - 31 40-foot buses and 30 hybrid buses - are part of a package with Gillig that was approved by the Council in 2007.
