Doorway LightingLamps at the front and rear passenger doorways shall comply with ADA requirements and shall activate only when the doors open. These lamps shall illuminate the street surface to a level of no less than 1 foot-candle for a distance of 3 ft outward from the outboard edge of the door threshold. The lights may be positioned above or below the lower daylight opening of the windows and shall be shielded to protect passengers’ eyes from glare. Turn SignalsDefault Standard Turn Signals Turn-signal lights shall be provided on the front, rear, curb and street sides of the bus in accordance with FMVSS 108 and Part 393, Subpart B of the FMCSA as applicable.
Wraparound Front Turn Signals Front turn signals shall be of wrap-around design or shall be designed to be visible from the front and the near side of the bus.
Default
Standard Installation Standard OEM headlight installation shall be provided in accordance with FMVSS 108 and Part 393, Subpart B of the FMCSA as applicable. Alternative Daytime Running Lights Headlamps shall incorporate a daytime running light feature.
LED/Halogen Headlamps shall be LED/halogen, sealed beam.
Specify Design Life [Headlamps design life to be specified in units of hours by the Agency.]
Default
No High/Center Mount Brake Lamp or Deceleration Warning Lamps Bus shall not include a high/center mount brake lamp and/or deceleration warning indicator lamps. Alternative High and Center Mount Red Brake Lamp Bus shall include red, high and center mount brake lamp(s) along the backside of the bus in addition to the lower brake lamps required under FMVSS 108. The high and center mount brake lamp(s) shall illuminate steady with brake application. [Agency to specify the size of the high and center mount brake lamp(s).]
High and Center Mount Amber Lamp Bus shall include amber high and center mount lamp(s) along the backside of the bus that illuminate steady when the transmission is in forward mode and when the throttle is completely released (0 percent engagement). The amber lamps shall automatically extinguish, regardless of transmission and throttle condition, with brake application. Operation of the amber lamps shall be programmable with the multiplex system. [Agency to specify the size of the high and center mount, amber lamp(s).]
Engine compartment lamps shall be controlled by a switch mounted near the rear start controls. All other service area lamps shall be controlled by switches mounted on or convenient to the lamp assemblies. Power to the service area lighting shall be programmable. Power shall latch on with activation of the switch and shall be automatically discontinued (timed out) after 30 minutes to prevent damage caused by inadvertently leaving the service area lighting switch in the on position after repairs are made. INTERIOR PANELS AND FINISHES General RequirementsMaterials shall be selected on the basis of maintenance, durability, appearance, safety, flammability and tactile qualities. Materials shall be strong enough to resist everyday abuse and be vandalism and corrosion resistant. Trim and attachment details shall be kept simple and unobtrusive. Interior trim shall be secured to avoid resonant vibrations under normal operational conditions. Interior surfaces more than 10 in. below the lower edge of the side windows or windshield shall be shaped so that objects placed on them fall to the floor when the coach is parked on a level surface. Any components and other electrical components within close proximity to these surfaces shall also be resistant to this cleaning method. Default No requirement for anti-graffiti/vandalism surface treatments. Alternative Requirements for additional anti-graffiti/vandalism treatments for interior surfaces. Alternative Internal surfaces, as possible, to be stainless steel or other resistant material. Interior PanelsPanels shall be easily replaceable and tamper-resistant. They shall be reinforced, as necessary, to resist vandalism and other rigors of transit bus service. Individual trim panels and parts shall be interchangeable to the extent practicable. Default
Interior panel required to meet FMVSS 302. Alternative Fire Resistance Materials shall comply with the Recommended Fire Safety Practices defined in FTA Docket 90-A, dated October 20, 1993.
Textured stainless steel. Alternative Anodized or powder-coated aluminum. Alternative Composite. Alternative Scratch-resistant plastic. Alternative Melamine-type material. Alternative Carpeting. Driver Area BarrierA barrier or bulkhead between the driver and the street-side front passenger seat shall be provided. The barrier shall minimize glare and reflections in the windshield directly in front of the barrier from interior lighting during night operation. Location and shape must permit full seat travel and reclining possibilities that can accommodate the shoulders of a 95th-percentile male. The partition shall have a side return and stanchion to prevent passenger from reaching the driver by standing behind the driver’s seat. The lower area between the seat and panel must be accessible to the driver. The partition must be strong enough in conjunction with entire partition assembly for mounting of such equipment as flare kits, fire extinguishers (1.2 kg), microcomputer, public address amplifier, etc. Dark or black panels are preferred behind the driver’s head. The panel should be isolated for noise control and attached with rubber grommets. Default
Wheel-Well-to-Ceiling Configuration of Driver’s Barrier The driver’s barrier shall extend from the top of the wheel well to the ceiling the level of the seated driver and shall fit close to the bus side windows and wall to prevent passengers from reaching the driver or the driver’s personal effects. Alternative Full-Height (Floor-to-Ceiling) Configuration of Driver’s Barrier The driver’s barrier shall extend continually from the floor area to the ceiling and from the bus wall to the first stanchion immediately behind the driver to provide security to the driver and limit passenger conversation.
