Lane Transit, ATU Local 757
Leveling Up at Lane Transit!
On April 28–29, seven dedicated mechanics, employees of Lane Transit and members of ATU Local 757, took part in a 2-day Fundamental Electrical Electronics (FEE) course. The training is a foundational class for agencies converting to zero emission buses, and is part of the ATU’s High Road to Innovative Clean Transit Grant, in partnership with CTW. It was led by Russell Anderson, CTW’s Director of Bus Maintenance Training, and focused on hands-on learning to support Lane Transit’s entire fleet — including battery electric buses.
