“We are proud to continue building our relationship through bus fleet replacement with the Government of DC,” stated Paul Smith, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing for New Flyer of America. “New Flyer looks forward to helping drive the nation’s capital forward with reliability, sustainability and clean energy in mind, and supporting millions of visitors to explore Washington each year.”
