Seattle transport agency Sound Transit awarded Brookville Equipment Corporation the USD 26.5 million contract for the supply of five Liberty LRVs for Tacoma Link line extension.
The base order includes five option vehicles for Sound Transit and five option vehicles for the City of Portland, Oregon.
Tacoma LRVs will include an 8 wide carbody with up to 34 seats with a capacity of more than 100 passengers. The new fleet will be ADA compliant with deployable bridge plates for easy boarding and more than 70 percent low-floor available standing area.
“These vehicles will be designed and manufactured right here in the United States using the latest rail proven technologies and systems, and serving as a rail transit vehicle solution that we hope will have broad appeal to the agency and its growing ridership,” Beookville Vice President of Business Development Joel McNeil said.
