SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Yakima Transit recently placed six (6) new transit buses into service replacing older buses,
those beyond their anticipated life of twelve years. Therefore, three (3) buses are no longer
required to fill the current needs of Yakima Transit and should be removed from the fleet.
In two previous Council Actions, June 27, 2006 and July 11, 2006, two old buses were
approved for sale to Asotin County PTBA and five others were sold at auction. Combining the
three actions effectively removes a total of ten buses from service.
