The Atlanta-Region Transit Link Authority (ATL) initially contracted with TRC Engineering Services early in 2019 to oversee inspections for the purchase of 77 coaches, the largest bus purchase in the history of the Xpress system.  It was critical to catch issues early in the inspection process, document them and ensure the manufacturer corrected them quickly.  TRC’s on-site inspectors did an outstanding job identifying and communicating issues to the Xpress project team, often reaching out between recurring meetings to ensure issues were known and addressed.

Thanks to the on-site inspectors and TRC’s project manager, Xpress coaches arrived on site with minimal issues.  In addition to inspection services, TRC has also provided Pre and Post Buy America Audits and thoroughly documented the coach production process from start to finish.  Since 2019 TRC has won additional bids for inspection services and continues to be a trustworthy and valuable partner as the Xpress system continues to update its fleet.
