Title, Order
Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with Downeast Transportation for Parking a Bus at
Fleet Maintenance
This Order would authorize Downeast Transportation to park a bus at the City's Fleet Maintenance
facility.
Downeast Transportation is expanding their midday public bus service between Bangor and Bar
Harbor. This will bring additional connectivity to the Community Connector, allowing Bangor
residents more opportunities to visit Bar Harbor and giving Bar Harbor and other area residents
opportunities to visit Bangor's shops, businesses, and medical facilities. Downeast is also adding
another bus to its Monday-Friday commuter service, doubling its capacity.
In order to help accommodate the increase in scheduled trips, Downeast has requested that the City
allow them to park a bus at the City's Fleet Maintenance facility. The facility has enough available
space to accommodate this request.
There will be no charge for the parking space itself. The agreement will include provisions for
charging Downeast Transportation for electricity, diesel fuel, and washing, to the extent they are
required.
