Cost is always important, but selecting the right bus for the specific operational requirements, whether school, shuttle, city transit, or intercity coach, is essential.  Contact GSA early when planning bus purchases.  GSA can greatly simplify the technical aspects of determining an agency’s requirements and the procurement process.

The buses covered under these contracts not only meet the National Standards for School Buses, and the Altoona Testing criteria required for non-school buses, but must meet the demanding requirements of the applicable Interim Bus Standards developed by GSA. 

Numerous options and configurations are available on the different bus types offered:

• upgraded seating;
• extra luggage space for over the road travel;
• front or rear engines;
• wheel chair lifts and lockdowns;
• troop carrier;
• ambulance package;
• prisoner package;
• Alternative Fuel powered buses are also available on some bus models as an option.

Choosing the correct type of bus can be one of the most important decisions a bus buyer can make. GSA's How 2 Select Buses Brochure provides helpful information to bus purchasers.
