Multiple white and black buses parked at a bus terminal, some connected to electric charging stations.
Gauge showing average cost per mile at $0.26, with cost range from $0.00 to $1.00 per mile, and a segment marked around $0.50.

Line graph showing electricity cost per mile from March to next January. Actual costs started above the $0.50/mi mark, dipped below in July, and are mostly below the target line of $0.50/mi. Prior year costs are consistently above the target and actual lines.

transition planning

design fleets and depots that work in the real world

Transition Planning turns your data and constraints into an operating blueprint for future concessions and fleet transitions. We design how vehicles, depots, charging or fueling, and schedules will work together so you can scale electrification and mixed fleets without surprises.

The result is a practical plan that meets service, protects reliability,
and keeps cost under control.

why Transition Planning

Magnifying glass showing a bar chart and line graph inside the lens.

De-risk fleet transitions

Test proposed fleet mixes, work rules, and depot plans before you commit capital.

Diagram showing three electric buses parked in designated zones. The first bus has an error warning, the second bus is marked with a green check, and the third bus is also marked with a green check. The zones are colored blue, gray, and green.

Avoid over building

Size vehicles, chargers, and bays to what you actually need instead of relying on blanket safety margins.

Keep service reliable

Stress test designs under peaks, weather, incidents, and availability shocks.

key capabilities

Depot and yard configuration

A blue electric bus inside a vehicle charging station with a house-shaped outline.

Diagnose current bottlenecks in staging, queuing, pull in and pull out, relief points, and bay use. Design layouts, flows, and charger or fuel bay placement that raise throughput without unnecessary infrastructure.

Fleet
composition

Icon of three buses, with the front bus in blue and the other two in dark blue, indicating transportation or bus services.

Right size vehicle types and counts across ICE, hybrid, CNG, and battery electric. Match vehicles to duty cycles, terrain, climate, and layover patterns so you can deliver the work with fewer assets and lower lifecycle cost.

Charge and
fueling strategy

Coordinate charging or fueling windows with blocks and reliefs. For EVs, align power, dwell, and tariffs to shrink peak demand and charger count. For ICE and CNG, shift fueling to off peak while keeping operations smooth.
