United Streetcar vehicles are fully Buy America compliant. Instead of outsourcing jobs, United Streetcar is “insourcing” jobs by bringing them back to the United States. United Streetcar’s decision to begin manufacturing streetcars domestically has developed into the creation of an industry. It has opened doors for vendors across the nation. Specialized companies who have never had the opportunity to work in the streetcar arena now find themselves with new work in their shops. In fact, over 200 vendors in 20+ states have worked on the Portland Prototype streetcar. New jobs are being created not only at United Streetcar/OIW, but in businesses across the country.
