Since August 2019, Anser has provided Owner’s Representative Services to assist the Anaheim Transportation Network with the management of the design-build of ATN’s new construction purpose-built Battery Electric Bus Operations & Maintenance Facility.

Anser, along with their subconsultant IBI Group, supports ATN with tasks spanning across the programming, pre- design/planning, design, contractor selection, construction administration and closeout phases.

Anser Advisory along with other subconsultants under the leadership of ATN’s project team brings a breadth and depth of experience, expertise, and resources needed to bring the project to successful completion.

“Anser is proud to partner with Anaheim Transportation Network on this grant and in the #ElectrifyAnaheim program,” stated Adam Tobin, Anser Advisory’s Senior Director and VP of Energy. “This is a great step towards the agency achieving a 100 percent electric bus fleet and further reducing greenhouse gas emissions within the City.” Adam added.
“This investment will assist ATN in delivering a world-class electric bus fleet that will not only benefit passengers but will also enhance air quality for the entire region,” stated Diana Kotler, ATN Executive Director. “With a goal of becoming California’s first all-electric bus fleet by 2025, we are excited to be creating sustainable public transportation options to meet the transit demands of local residents, employees and visitors.”
