  5. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE Useful Life Criteria • 6-S, Minivan, 5 years, 100,000 miles • 6-1MV, Modified minivan, 5 years, 100,000 miles • 7-1MS, Modified van, 5 years, 100,000 miles • 7-1MR, Modified van, 5 years, 100,000 miles • 12-M, Modified van, 5 years, 100,000 miles • 7-1B Bus, 6 years, 150,000 miles • 8-2B Bus, 6 years, 150,000 miles • 12-2B Bus, 6 years, 150,000 miles • 16-2B Bus, 6 years, 150, 000 miles • 16-2BHD Bus, 6 years, 150, 000 miles • 12-B Bus, 6 years, 150,000 miles • 24-B Bus, 6 years, 150,000 miles • 24-BHD Bus, 6 years, 150,000 miles (See Attachment A)

  7. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PM plan is the foundation of an effective transit system maintenance program and is required for all LADOTD transit systems.

  8. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE The plan should describe how your agency handles the following PM activities. • Making preventive maintenance arrangements • Adhering to a preventative maintenance schedule • Conducting daily vehicle inspections • Completing corresponding inspection checklist & follow up on deficiencies • Keeping a comprehensive maintenance record on file for each vehicle/Documentation (checklists, reports, receipts, etc.)

  9. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE Making Preventive Maintenance Arrangements • PM plan should describe how you maintain the fleet and equipment • Maintenance department or private garage • Who is in charge of scheduling vehicles for PM work? • How is information conveyed? • Who is responsible that PM schedules are followed? • How are PM Intervals determined? • See Attachment C (Maintenance Communication)

  10. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE Adhering to a preventative maintenance schedule • Equipment manufacturer recommendations/Basic roadmap • Mileage intervals/Manufacturer guidelines • Seasonal variations/Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer • Environmental conditions/Dusty roads, stop and go driving • Vehicle Cleanliness/ Establish a regular program for washing & cleaning, road salt or brine will accelerate rusting. Dust from roads causes poor driving conditions, passengers are not comfortable in a dirty vehicle. • See Attachment D (Preventive Maintenance Table) and Attachment E (Preventative Maintenance Checklist) Page P-2, Red Administration Handbook

  11. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE Conducting Daily Vehicle Inspections • Daily pre-trip inspection sheet (required on all vehicles) • Critical to success of the PM plan/Minor problems-corrected • Drivers trained how to conduct inspections • Properly complete form/all defects accurately noted • Form should have all areas that driver is to check • Space provided to document any problems • Information should be the base for the PM program and forwarded to maintenance department or repair shop when defects found • See Attachment F (Daily driver pre-trip inspection) Page P-3, Red Administration Handbook

  12. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE Conducting Daily Vehicle Inspections/continued • Mechanics should perform thorough inspections when in the shop • Mechanics certifications/Automotive service excellence • Mechanic inspection sheet (See Attachment G and G1) • PM inspections/Certain mileage intervals

  13. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE Warranties • All warranty information in vehicle packets upon pickup/READ, READ, READ • 3 years/36,000 miles • Chassis/Ford, Chevy, Dodge/Local dealer • Modifications National Bus Sales (800) 282-7981 (Goshen or Elkhart Coach, Braun Corp) • Bus Group (866) 726-5142 (ElDorado, Transtech or Aerotech) • Transportation South (800) 367-9463 (Startrans or Starcraft) • Must have authorization before work is done • DOTD contact & technical support information (See Attachment H)

  14. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE Documentation • Maintenance records are required to be kept on file for each vehicle • Records should include specific details when maintenance was performed, whether preventive or unscheduled • Pertinent information/mileage, dates, description of repair, cost, who performed work • Agencies are encouraged to develop spread sheets to help document oil changes, tire rotations, inspections, etc. (See Attachments I thru L) • Monthly maintenance reports are required on every active LADOTD public transportation vehicle until its has reached its useful life. Report form is required by the 15th day of the following month for the previous month. • Monthly Maintenance/Expense Record (See Attachment O), Page R-14, Red Administration Handbook • (See Attachments M & N) for detailed instructions/Page R-9 & R-10, Red Administration Handbook
