A significant portion of the fleet, approximately 68%, is still within its useful life, as determined by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) based on years of service. Currently, the fleet comprises 25 active vehicles, as detailed in Table 3-4 . These vehicles are primarily fixed-route buses equipped with Automatic Passenger Counters (APC) and real-time bus routing software. This technology enables passengers to track the location of buses through websites or text messages, enhancing the overall transit experience. In 2024, KWT retired two 23’ 2003 model buses and has a pending vehicle orders to maintain the fleet in a state of good repair. The orders include one 29-foot fixed-route diesel bus and one fixed-route electric vehicle (EV), both expected for delivery in 2025.

These buses are estimated to be delivered in 2026, contributing to the ongoing modernization and expansion efforts of KWT’s transit services. Table 3-4: Key West Transit Vehicle Inventory
