Eligible capital items include buses, vans, vehicle rehabilitation, initial installation costs, vehicle procurement, testing, inspection, and acceptance costs, preventive maintenance, bus shelters, radio equipment, wheelchair lifts, lease of equipment when lease is more effective, and acquisition of transportation services under a contract, lease or other agreement.
