Program, created through the integration of best practices drawn from
Bombardier's services and manufacturing sites around the world, has brought
measurable benefits to River Line Light Rail in the areas of fleet reliability,
fleet availability, and asset maintenance. Through the continued implementation
and expansion of this program, we look forward to achieving increasingly
positive results."
