Background

Originally known as the Sandwich, Windsor & Amherstburg Railway (SW&A), public transportation has served Windsor since 1850 and the City of Windsor stakes claim to several historic firsts on the national public transportation scene

Making History

Canada's first electric street railway began operating in Windsor on May 28, 1886Windsor became the first Canadian city with an all-electric transit system in 1891

Canada's first trolley bus operation was the Lincoln Road line in the Windsor suburb of Walkerville, which commenced public service on May 4, 1922.

Making History

From the beginning of buses in Windsor in 1938, the SW&A Railway earned the reputation of operating one of the best-maintained transit fleets in Canada, a reputation proven by numerous maintenance awards that continues to this day.

Ridership surged and peaked in 1945 with over 39 million passengers.

At the end of the war, Windsor was operating 177 Fords, the largest such fleet in Canada.

Operations Overview

Service Area:

  121,000 square km

Operating Data:

6.3 million passenger trips annually

268 staff working out of 131,000 sq.ft central facility

Weekday service consists of 84 revenue fleet vehicles that

service 13 primary routes to cover peak hour demand

770 hours of daily revenue fleet time (286,419 revenue

hours annually)

Operations Overview

Operating/Fleet Data:

12 transit buses, 102 of which are fully accessible

26 percent of total fleet is using alternative fuel

Avg. revenue fleet vehicle age is 11.3 years

3 million litres clean diesel fuel annually

5.7 million km driven annually

72 buses in service during peak weekends and evenings

Project Deliverables

Transit Windsor asset inventory data gathering

Asset evaluation and criteria development

Fleet lifecycle costing

20-year lifecycle costing modelling;

In-house rebuilt program cost comparison

In-house rebuilt strategy and recommendation

Review of scheduled maintenance practice vs. industry practice

Provide scheduled maintenance recommendations for TW

Development of KPIs for maintenance and asset tracking

Business case development

Transit skills compatibility analysis.

Current State

The good:

Transit Windsor has strong management in place with

recent history of positive change management results

Skilled trades department has very strong workforce

producing very positive results

Transit Windsor has a positive maintenance personnel to

bus ratio

Transit Windsor facilities are more than adequate to

manage its current operations with room for

potential expansion

Current State

Room for Improvement:

Average fleet age is 11.3 years

Oldest assets approaching 30 years

Bus spare ratio of 33% (sample avg. is 22.5%)

Mean Distance between Failures for study year is 6394.89 km

(industry avg. is 10,000 – 12,000 kilometres)

Rebuild program inefficiencies with potential savings of 64%

Overall asset condition rating of Poor based on sample

asset inspections

MTO inspections schedule of 3 months (industry

average is 12 months)
