The Central New York Regional Transportation Authority (Centro) in Syracuse now has three bus orders underway with Gillig. The first order is for seven 40-foot CNG buses for delivery this summer. These will replace the five 2003 Orion V CNG 35-footers (#2378-2382) and are being purchased using an available option from the Akron Ohio transit agency.
In 2015 the CNYRTA put out to bid a five-year deal for up to 84 buses in various lengths and fuel system configurations. The bid was awarded to Gillig and the first order was placed for ten 29-foot clean diesel buses to replace the 2004 New Flyer D30LF's (#2400-2409). These will be delivered in 2017.
In February a second order was placed with Gillig for 42 40-foot CNG buses to replace the 2005 New Flyer D40LF's (#2500-2522) and C40LF's (#2523-2541). The order is contingent on available funding, so it could be cut back to fewer buses or cancelled entirely if no funding is available.
