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.

Grand Avenue Construction Update

By

Upcoming closure of the 48th Street and Grand intersection begins Monday (9/20). Pavement removals will occur on Monday prior to utility work in the intersection. The full duration of the closure is expected to last roughly 4 weeks. During this time, pedestrian access will be maintained, but for the safety of the workers, there will be no vehicle access through the intersection for a majority of the duration.

Just as a reminder, all of Grand Ave between 38th and 48th is still considered under construction, which means there are uneven surfaces between pavement match points, discontinuities and unfinished grades. Please keep this in mind when traversing whenever you are within the project limits.
