Glenwood Springs Maintenance Facility Expansion

This expansion project addressed operational deficiencies and accommodated forecasted growth in population and ridership demand, while facilitating the agency’s transition to zero-emission buses.

The design-build team of Saunders Construction and Stantec supported the Roaring Fork Transportation Authority (RFTA) with the expansion of its Glenwood Springs Maintenance Facility (GMF), located in Glenwood Springs, Colo.

This project included indoor heated bus storage, a second-level operations facility (including a dispatch suite, reception space for visitors, a drivers room, office spaces, and locker rooms), along with necessary site improvements, including grading, drainage, utilities, landscaping, and employee parking. Future phases will include expanding indoor heated bus storage to 60 buses, new site retaining walls, four battery electric bus chargers, and a fuel and wash lane expansion. The facility was designed and built to accommodate future hydrogen vehicles.
