CCW to install driver projection system on TriMet buses

Complete Coach Works (CCW) has been awarded a five-year contract to install driver protection system units in 478 New Flyer and Gillig buses for TriMet.

CCW explains that TriMet's decision to install the driver protection system units is an effort to ensure the overall safe operation of its systems, as well as the personal safety of its customers, employees and the public. CCW says driver protection system units allow drivers to feel confident in driving their route, while still being able to connect and interact with their passengers. CCW notes that implementing this safeguard will enhance the level of operator security, visibility and comfort.

“We are excited to partner with a transit agency that makes safety a priority as much as we do. We believe transit bus operators are central to the success of a transit agency. They are an agency’s first responder for any incident involving their vehicles, and they are responsible for the safety of their passengers. It’s vital to take precautionary measures for safety concerns," said Regional Sales Manager of CCW Jim Paul.

He continued, “We are grateful for the opportunity presented to us by TriMet and look forward to many more projects together."
