POCATELLO — Pocatello Regional Transit is pleased to announce the ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new 2022 transit coach (bus). The new bus is ADA accessible and can hold around 45 passengers — 17 standing passengers and 28 seated.

The PRT bus was 100 percent federally funded by CARES ACT and cost just over $410,000. The last time the city purchased a bus of this style was in 2007. Over the years, PRT has utilized buses donated by the Utah Transit Authority, which helped prolong the purchase of a new bus. PRT plans to continue adding new buses to its fleet over the next few years, including another transit coach in 2024.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held at 11 a.m. at PRT, 5815 S. Fifth Ave. This event is free and open to the public, and light refreshments will be provided.
