Working Toward a Sustainable Future
Congressman Frost is working to advance transportation infrastructure, energy policy, and environmental initiatives closely aligned with ABC Companies’ commitment to low emissions to zero-emissions strategies and transit solutions, the company said.
The importance of collaboration between businesses, public agencies, and elected officials was emphasized during the visit. Congressman Frost sees this as a way to enhance transit accessibility and sustainability.
“Expanding access to reliable, sustainable public transportation is critical for the future of Orlando and beyond,” said Congressman Frost. “It’s encouraging to see companies like ABC leading the charge in low emissions to zero-emission strategies and working closely with transit agencies to drive innovation.”
ABC’s leadership gave insights into its commitment to fleet electrification, partnerships with public transit providers, and role in helping agencies navigate the transition to zero-emission transportation.
