12 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 10, ISSUE 11 Imagine if your fleet could work more efficiently and meet your sustainability goals, all while lessening the impact on the environment for years to come. That’s the strategy behind our Bridgestone Fleet Care program for Mass Transit and Coach; focused on tire leasing, monitoring, and service event management solutions that can be bundled to help fleets improve productivity and achieve sustainability goals while staying within their operating budget. Bridgestone Fleet Care’s leasing program utilizes a pay-by-mile plan that locks in a fixed rate on your fleet’s tire costs. This curbs your up- front investment and avoids costly overstocking of tire inventory. Retreads can be a vital part of your fleet’s tire program; they are on par with new tires when it comes to performance and safety, and they require less energy and fewer resources to produce than a new tire.  Tire monitoring services are also available to collect actionable tire pressure data to proactively address tire issues and avoid costly downtime.  Once on the road, Bridgestone Fleet Care’s suite of solutions can help minimize downtime for fleets. But if downtime does occur, fleets have the support of the largest dealer network in the industry with over 2,500 points of service.

Redefining Transit: The Future of ATN The impact of a robust transit network extends beyond mere connectivity. While ATN plays a significant role in Anaheim’s mobility, its influence is felt across the region’s economic spectrum. Addressing this aspect, Kotler admits that while the ATN has not conducted an explicit economic analysis study, she acknowledges the extensive When ATN launched its services in 2002, it heralded a new era of sustainable transportation. “We began with a fleet of electric buses and compressed natural gas buses,” Kotler shares, underscoring that conventional fuels like diesel and gasoline were never on ATN’s radar.
