*Frazer Rail Shop & Yard Upgrade- Phased upgrade of the Frazer Maintenance Facility to accommodate the expansion of SEPTA’s railcar and locomotive fleets including multi-level cars. Work includes extending existing storage tracks and adding new storage tracks; major upgrades to the repair shop and equipment, including the wheel truing machine and drop table; construction of a shop extension, new cleaning track, train washer building, storage building and yardmaster building; utility upgrades and stormwater improvements. In addition, the roof will be replaced, and mechanical equipment will be replaced. The budget for this project is $139 million.
**Zero Emission Bus Fleet Transition Facility Upgrades $150M (Prior Years - FY 2032)
SEPTA is planning for a full transition to ZEBs, which could include a combination of Battery Electric Buses and Fuel Cell Electric Buses, by the year 2040, if adequate funding is made available for the investments that will be necessary to charge and fuel these new buses. SEPTA has secured $107.66 M for ZEB infrastructure projects through the FTA’s Low or No Emissions Vehicle Program. Projects include:
-Midvale ZEB Infrastructure Project ($5.75M total)
-Allegheny, Callowhill, and Comly ZEB Power Resiliency Project ($29.2M total)
-ZEB Transition Facility Safety & Resiliency Improvements ($100M total)
Overall, these projects will provide for the design and construction of additional or upgraded electric infrastructure including power feeders, backup generators, substations, ventilation enhancements, and fire safety improvements at Midvale, Allegheny, Callowhill, Comly, Frankford, Frontier, Germantown, Southern, and Victory bus depots. These upgrades will make it possible for SEPTA to start procuring a significant number of ZEBs in the next few years. SEPTA will continue to apply for funds through the FTA Low-No program to advance this transition.

No milestones are available for this project.
