Overview
The Bus Base North facility will ensure that Stride buses are stored, cleaned, fueled or charged, and maintained. This will be the first facility built by Sound Transit to operate and maintain its bus fleet. The facility will also support the operations of the Stride BRT system.
Located in the Canyon Park Business Center in Bothell, near the Canyon Park Park-and-Ride Lot, the facility includes:
- An administration and operations building for staff, drivers, mechanics, and other Stride operating needs.
- A parking and service structure for bus storage and charging with parking above for employees, visitors, and other non-revenue vehicles.
- A bus maintenance building for servicing and maintaining buses.
- A service, fuel, and wash facility.
- A guard house.
- Two electrical yards to support building electrical needs and battery-electric bus charging infrastructure.
The Bus Base North facility will support midday and overnight charging for Stride’s battery-electric bus fleet. The bus base will also accommodate conversion of the entire BRT fleet, and some ST Express routes, to zero emissions. This is a major step toward achieving carbon-free operations for facilities and fleets by 2050.
