RIVERSIDE, CA – Complete Coach Works (CCW), North America’s leading provider of transit bus and sustainable transportation solutions, is proud to announce the contract award for the midlife refurbishment of thirteen (13) Long Beach Transit (LBT) 2015 New Flyer Xcelsior, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) 60-foot buses. This project is part of Long Beach Transit’s State of Good Repair Program, designed to maintain the safety, efficiency, and reliability of its fleet.
This recent award is built on a long-standing partner relationship between the two organizations. CCW previously performed a mid-life rehabilitation for 72 Gillig buses under a contract awarded in 2019. That successful project demonstrates CCW’s commitment to assisting LBT in their mission to deploy the most reliable and efficient fleet for their customers.
The bus rehabilitation contract includes both cosmetic and mechanical upgrades. The buses will be fitted with Cummins L9N CNG “Near Zero” engines, replacing the older Cummins ISL-G engines. These low-emission, fuel-efficient engines are part of LBT’s continued effort to provide a cleaner and more environmentally friendly transportation system for the City of Long Beach and its surrounding areas. Additionally, each bus will include new aluminum wheels, updated exterior lighting and mirrors, a refurbished driver’s seat, reupholstered passenger seats, and articulation joint service. Further enhancements include the recertification of each bus’s Amerex fire suppression system.
The buses will further receive an interior and exterior paint job, complete with new decals, providing a refreshed look that reflects Long Beach Transit’s commitment to high-quality service.
“As these vehicles reach their mid-life points, the cosmetic, mechanical, and electrical restoration work will return them to like-new condition,” said James Carson, Regional Sales Manager of Complete Coach Works. “CCW provides high-quality refurbishing services, and we take pride in seeing our work reflected in the Long Beach Transit fleet.”
LBT, the second largest public transit agency in Los Angeles County, serves approximately 17 million annual boardings. The completion of this project will ensure the fleet remains efficient and reliable for the residents and visitors of Long Beach.
James added, “This has been a joint effort to bring more value to the city. The refurbishment of these buses will allow Long Beach Transit to continue on its path toward providing a cleaner and more sustainable and reliable transportation system for its community.”

“We are honored that Kelly Tours has chosen TSI once again for their vehicle provider of choice” said Patrick Scully, Chief Commercial Officer of Complete Coach Works. “This award highlights the trust they place in our ability to deliver high-quality, reliable transit solutions for their operations.

RIVERSIDE, CA – Complete Coach Works (CCW), North America’s leading provider of transit bus and sustainable transportation solutions, is proud to announce the successful delivery of five refurbished transit buses to Everett Transit.
The five buses supplied by our sister company, Transit Sales International, originally 2008 35′ Gillig models underwent a refurbishment by CCW. The refurbishment process included significant upfitting to meet Everett Transit’s specific needs including: 2 color exterior paint and decals to match their most recent builds; new European style frameless passenger windows; new exterior mirrors, flooring, suspension components, bike rack, fare box, and passenger seat inserts. , Updated ADA mobility device securements were installed as well as a new steering wheel, updated adjustable accelerator and brake pedal assemblies, new driver seat, new driver safety barrier, and a full camera surveillance system.
The project was conducted through the Washington State Transit Bus Cooperative Purchasing Schedule, which allows transit agencies to procure refurbished, repowered, and rebuilt buses through a streamlined and efficient process. By leveraging CCW’s expertise, Everett Transit has expanded its fleet without the high costs and long lead times associated with purchasing new buses, while also reducing its environmental impact.
Everett Transit recently joined CCW in a webinar, Revitalizing Transit: The Role of Refurbishment, where Mike Schmieder, Operations Manager from Everett Transit, shared insights on why they chose to refurbish their buses. Schmieder stated that these buses represent added service assurance, allowing Everett Transit to maintain their commitment to the community by providing greater fleet resiliency to ensure on time service performance. The decision to refurbish also showcases an intelligent use of financial resources, as for the cost of a single battery-electric bus, Everett Transit can add five refurbished buses to their fleet, supporting their commitment to financial sustainability.

“We are proud to support Everett Transit in enhancing their fleet,” said James Carson, Regional Sales Manager of Complete Coach Works. “The collaboration with Everett’s team has been fantastic. We’re excited to see these buses serving their community. We look forward to working on future projects with Everett Transit.”
