City firm scores $22M Calgary contract

A Saskatoon business has secured a five-year, $22-million contract with Calgary Transit.

Crestline Coach, a supplier of small- to mid-sized buses as well as ambulance and specialty vehicles, will help Calgary Transit renew its community shuttle fleet, said a news release.

Crestline partnered with ARBOC Specialty Vehicles to build a community shuttle bus that is easily accessible for all passengers, including those with limited mobility. With a low-floor entry and flat floor design, the vehicle offers a wide range of motion and manoeuvrability for wheelchair passengers.

In its large manufacturing facility in Saskatoon, Crestline will handle electrical installation and electrical system validation along with final vehicle preparation before delivery to Calgary.
