The Vicinity LT is a low floor, medium-duty, mid-sized transit bus sold in Canada and the United States by Vicinity Motor Corp. It is available in a 26-foot length. The Vicinity LT was designed as a "crossover" vehicle that offers the same features of the heavy-duty Vicinity Classic with the economics of a cutaway bus.[1]

The Vicinity LT can accommodate up to 24 seated passengers with two wheelchair positions. It is powered by a gasoline engine from General Motors with an automatic transmission from Allison.

In October 2017, Grande West held an exclusive unveiling of a new small-sized, medium duty multi-purpose transit vehicle. A 27.5-foot operational mock-up of what would become the Vicinity LT was displayed to attendees. Design and development continued with input from transit agencies and private operators.[2] Grande West officially launched the Vicinity LT at the start of July 2019 with deliveries expected in January 2020.[1]
