Metro Transit Zero-Emission Bus Transition Plan

By

Metro Transit Zero-Emission Bus Transition Plan

The first Zero-Emission Bus Transition Plan will be submitted to the legislature by February 15, 2022. This plan will identify the short- (2022-2025), medium- (2026-2030) and long- (beyond 2030) term opportunities, risks, and implementation strategies to transition more of Metro Transit’s fleet to zero-emission technology. The plan is guided by technical viability, equity and environmental justice, and financial impact. We are seeking the community’s help in prioritizing zero-emission bus implementation.

There is a survey available until November 30, 2021 at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/N85Y9CQ.
