Selma Maintenance Facility

The Fresno County Rural Transit Agency (FCRTA) Selma Maintenance Facility Project required development of approximately 7.5 acres of vacant parcels in Selma, California, to construct a maintenance and operations facility for vehicles that serve rural Fresno County and accommodate future transit needs. The project involved:

• Two maintenance shop buildings, approximately 25,000sf each, equipped to service both natural gas powered and 40-foot electric transit buses.
• An additional maintenance shop building, approximately 25,000sf, devoted to light-duty electric vehicles and vans, or a single maintenance building of approximately 50,000sf to service all vehicles.
• A 10,000sf office building, with approximately 5,000sf dedicated to centralized dispatching and supervisor offices.
• Approximately 5,000sf training facility for technician training in advanced transit vehicle technology (electric and solar).
• An approximate 3,100sf bus wash capable of washing up to 40-foot transit buses, incorporating conservation and operations best practices such as on-site recycled water, a reverse osmosis final rinse water system, and bus air dryers.
• A wash pad with a canopy for hand-washing cars and vans.
• A new 2,000sf tire storage and canopy.
• A new 900sf covered hazardous material storage with concrete curb containment.
• Installation of more than twenty electric vehicle chargers, 50 bus ports with solar roofs, and on-site solar power and battery storage.
• Construction of inductive Wave charging units.

The project requires installation of ten Level 3 electric vehicle (EV) chargers to serve electric transit buses (two inductive and eight standard charging units), and ten Level 2 EV chargers to serve electric transit vans and cars located under solar car ports.

Galloway provided design-build civil engineering services and assisted with entitlements, permitting, and utility coordination. The project includes a tiered stormwater management system in consideration of future phases of the project to allow for ease of expansion. Our team worked with the owner and shareholders to get the most out of the publicly funded budget throughout every step of the project. This maintenance facility provides services to an underserved community in Fresno County by having a connected transportation system that will improve the lives of residents and spark interest from businesses and developers.
