• Abstract:
  The Bus Lifecycle Cost Model is a spreadsheet-based planning tool that estimates capital, operating, and maintenance costs for various bus types over the full lifecycle of the vehicle. The model is based on a number of operating characteristics, including those related to the routing and frequency of the service. The model is designed to allow users to estimate and compare the total costs of offering different types of bus services over time. The model is tailored to planning bus service that serves Federal Land Management Agencies (FLMAs), allowing federal public land site planners and partners to estimate the total cost of various Alternative Transportation System (ATS) project alternatives using a systematic approach that is consistent, comparable, defensible, and credible.
