| Kilgore, Texas: The East Texas Council of Governments (ETCOG) will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new GoBus Maintenance Facility on Thursday, November 13, at 2:00 PM. The event will take place behind ETCOG Headquarters, located at 3800 Stone Road in Kilgore, and is open to the public.
The new $3.3 million facility marks a significant milestone in expanding GoBus operations and improving service reliability across ETCOG’s 14-county region. Funded by the Federal Transit Administration and the Texas Department of Transportation, the facility is designed to support GoBus administrative and maintenance teams under one roof.
The site features two work bays, a dedicated wash bay, training rooms, and expanded fleet parking, providing the tools and space needed to maintain GoBus vehicles efficiently and safely.
“This facility allows us to take a more proactive approach to vehicle maintenance and safety,” said Vince Huerta, ETCOG Transportation Director. “Having the ability to complete repairs in-house means we can get vehicles back on the road faster and continue delivering safe, dependable transportation services.”
Community members, regional partners, and stakeholders are invited to attend the ribbon-cutting and tour the new facility. Light refreshments will be served.
