 As of January 2014 , CT maintains and operates a fleet of 696 vehicles from its operating bases at Kasch Park and Merrill Creek . The 227 @-@ bus fleet has been reduced from 291 vehicles in 2010 because of major service cuts in 2010 and 2012 , forcing Community Transit to downsize in order to comply with the spare ratio policies set by the Federal Transit Administration . The fleet is composed of 30 @-@ foot ( 9 @.@ 1 m ) and 40 @-@ foot ( 12 m ) vehicles , as well as specialized 60 @-@ foot ( 18 m ) articulated buses and 42 @-@ foot ( 13 m ) double @-@ decker buses . Buses typically are powered by diesel engines , with the exception of the 15 hybrid diesel @-@ electric Swift articulated buses and 15 40 @-@ foot ( 12 m ) hybrid buses .
