Good afternoon fellow peers! I have some information that I would like incorporated into the CPTDB CAT Roster.
Facilities:
*Back on October 7th, 2013 CAT opened the Joe Murray Rivers Jr. Intermodal Transit Center to be the hub for all downtown fixed routes. It is located at 610 W. Oglethrope Ave. Savannah, GA 31401. All other associated components under the 900 E. Gwinnett location also goes along with the ITC.
Roster:
*0406: This unit is on loan to CAT from Coach Crafters based in Tavares, FL. Coach Crafters awarded a contract in 2015 to rehabilitate 14 of their fleet's vehicles. The unit is ex Palm Trans, but not sure of the exact fleet number.
*0604: This unit at Coach Crafters being rehabilitated.
*0606: This unit is currently out of service due to engine failure. It will return to service once Coach Crafters rehabilitates it.
*0607: This unit is currently at Coach Crafters getting rehabilitated.
*0610: This unit is currently at Coach Crafters getting rehabilitated.
*1601-1602: These units were ordered in 2014 and arrived in July of this year (2016) to be placed on the DOT shuttle. These are straight diesel (Cummins ISL9), but I'm not sure of the transmission yet. In time, these will relieve 0601-0602 from the shuttle, and they will be put back on low ridership routes and eventually rehabilitated.
*3007: This unit is currently at Coach Crafters getting rehabilitated.
*3027: This unit has been rehabilitated by Coach Crafters and arrived August of this year (2016) complete with a new floor, rebuilt drivetrain, Q-Pod tie down system, new paint, and a host of other services.
