Bowen is excited to attend the NAFA 2026 Institute & Expo, April 13-15, in our hometown of Cleveland, Ohio! We’ll be at Booth 142 (next to the Innovations Showcase). We’d love to talk to you about your facilities needs, including:
- Architecture / Interior Design
- Facility Assessments
- Master Planning
- Renovation / Addition

Maintenance Facility Design
Whether you are a large or a small municipality, you will likely require a maintenance facility to service your fleet. This facility will likely include the following components: vehicle storage areas, vehicle maintenance areas, administrative and driver space, fueling (Diesel, CNG and/or Biofuels), and wash equipment. Bowen has identified key factors critical to the success of any maintenance facility design.
Maintenance Facility Design Drivers:
- Well-planned vehicular flow
- Natural light
- Service areas specific to vehicle type
- Relevant safety (gas detection /fire protection/exhaust) systems
- Functional, durable materials for both interior and exterior
Maintenance Facility Designs:
- Premier Trucking
- Summit Metroparks
- City of Brecksville, Ohio
- City of Brook Park, Ohio
- City of Decatur, IL
- Ohio Department Of Transportation
- COTA McKinley Ave Facility
- BCRTA Chestnut Ave Facility
- COTA Fields Ave
- Laketran Headquarters
- GCRTA Triskett
Fueling
Fleet Managers are leaders in seeking and implementing sustainable solutions, including alternate fueling. We are well-versed in electric, diesel, and gas infrastructure.
Steps to Fleet Transition:
- Engage the right consultants
- Engage local utilities (power, gas, etc.)
- Engage bus manufacturers
- Select / procure buses
- Prepare construction documents
- Work out construction phasing
