Trillium Expands New York City Operations

New Contract Signed with MTA Bus Company

Salt Lake City, UT - Apr 07, 2006
Trillium took over service and maintenance operations of the CNG Facility at MTA Bus Company’s College Point Depot, on March 1, 2006. This contract marked the second significant expansion of operations for Trillium this year.

The College Point Depot CNG facility, formerly known as the Queens Surface Depot, was built in 1997. It provides fuel for 245 buses that serve travelers between Queens and Manhattan.

The contract was awarded to Trillium after a competitive bidding process. The MTA Bus Board Report cited Trillium’s performance record as a significant factor in their decision. “Trillium has designed, constructed and maintains the NYCT CNG fueling facility located at the West Farms Depot and has also refurbished and maintains the CNG facility at the Jackie Gleason Depot. They have demonstrated a high level of professionalism and a keen awareness of the unique exigencies involved in the operation of a New York City based transit system.”

Under the terms of the agreement, Trillium will provide preventive, remedial and emergency maintenance as well as 24-hour monitoring for the CNG facility. The station will also be upgraded with the installation of a new 1250 scfm compressor package and new dispensers. “Taking over service of a nine year old CNG facility you didn’t build is definitely a challenge, but we look forward to it. Trillium has proven our capabilities on previous takeover projects and we are eager to help MTA Bus improve their CNG operations,” stated Trillium’s President Mark Barton.
