TESTIMONIALS

Long Beach Transit (LBT)
Working in conjunction with TRC as LBT In-Plant Inspection and Quality Assurance Service provider, LBT has successfully completed our first article build. TRC’s attention to detail, modernized business platform, and open channels of communication are attributed to the build quality and desired outcome.
Over several years, TRC has been LBT eyes and ears during the production process on multiple builds across various bus manufacturers. Recently, because of the Covid 19 pandemic, LBT took precautionary measures and opted to perform our first ever remote configuration audit. Working with your team, TRC adjusted accordingly by adapting inspection process giving LBT a first-person perspective of the vehicle. Overall, LBT expectations of TRC have been exceeded. On behalf of the LBT organization and the riding public I would personally like to thank you and TRC for your ongoing support and commitment to quality.

Central Ohio Transit Authority
TRC is our eyes and ears during the manufacturing process, acting as our onsite liaison. They have great attention to detail and have discovered issues during manufacturing that have immediately been taken care of by the manufacturer. They provide us with weekly status reports that detail every bus as to where it is within the assembly process. The inspection documentation provided during and after the production run are professional and detailed. We are very happy with our relationship and hope to continue the relationship in the future.

Atlanta-Region Transit Link Authority
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.
