Maintenance
The BCTA Maintenance Department is the backbone to the MAX transit system that services over 1.8 million riders yearly in the Jefferson County area. Maintenance manages a fleet of over 125 vehicles, including 74 fixed-route buses, 41 paratransit vans, 25 non-revenue vehicles and a growing fleet of microtransit vans. The department is also responsible for the upkeep of the Birmingham Rapid Transit (BRT) system. MAX Transit uses Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) and Compress Natural Gas (CNG) for the majority of our fleet, honoring a commitment to sustainability.
Our Fleet
The BJCTA Bus Maintenance Department maintains a fleet of 110 vehicles for revenue service along with numerous support and pool vehicles.
This number includes 70 Fixed Route 35- and 40-foot New Flyer and NABI Transit Buses along with 40 Paratransit 24-foot vehicles of various models.
All BJCTA buses are fueled by Clean Burning Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)
Passenger seating on all BJCTA vehicles has been reduced due to the Jefferson County Alabama mandated social distancing requirements and all vehicles are sanitized before entering revenue service and throughout each day with Electrostatic Sprayers using CDC Covid-19 recommended disinfectants.
We are looking forward to adding two New Flyer 35-foot Electric Transit Buses to our Fixed Route fleet in 2021.
