- Lake Oswego location to ensure reliable and efficient transportation service
- Large enough footprint to park the entire bus fleet plus staff vehicles onsite safely and securely
- Infrastructure to maintain existing and potentially new (electric) vehicles
- Office and gathering space to support transportation operations
