As part of the Regional Public Transportation Authority/Valley Metro, the City of Tempe has built the new East Valley Bus Operations and Maintenance Facility on a 23-acre parcel of land in Tempe. This new complex provides the opportunity to provide a better working environment for the transit service employees to operate, maintain, and service the 250 buses located at the facility.

The facility includes Administrative Offices, Operations/Driver facilities for over 500 bus operators, a 78,250 sf bus maintenance building, bus canopies to provide shade for the buses while parked, and a full LNG/CNG fueling center with fare retrieval and bus wash.

Two major buildings are situated on the site along an east-west axis to take advantage of proper solar orientation. The City of Tempe has made a strong commitment to sustainability, and thus the project was designed with sustainable design techniques, with the end result being a LEED Certified Gold Administration/Operations building and a LEED Certified Gold Maintenance Facility.
