Two New Centro Buses Put into Service in Utica



Centro has put two new buses into service in Utica featuring new amenities to assist passengers. The buses are equipped with “Low Floor” technology and ramps for persons using mobility devices.

“Low Floor” buses make it easier for people to board because it reduces the need to climb steps to get on the bus. The mobility ramps allow individuals who use wheelchairs or other mobility devices to board more quickly at the front doors of the bus. Current buses use mobility lifts at the rear door entrance.

“We are continuing to upgrade our fleet in order to provide the best transportation services to our community,” said Centro of Oneida General Manager Ron Bucciero. “These buses will make it easier for people to use our buses and will speed up the boarding process.”

The buses are the first new vehicles put into service since Centro took over the Utica Transit Authority in April 2005. Centro had previously refurbished the existing fleet during the first few months that followed the commencement of services in Oneida County.

The new 35-foot vehicles also include electronic destination signs and air conditioning. The new vehicles replace older ones that have reached the end of their useful lifespan.
