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.

During the visit, the company’s dedication to delivering innovative solutions that support transit expansion and sustainability across the industry was reinforced. ABC offers a wide range of zero-emission vehicles, including the Van Hool TDX25E electric double-decker and Optimal EV low-floor electric shuttle bus.

“At ABC, we believe in working collaboratively with industry leaders and policymakers to advance transportation solutions that enhance accessibility and sustainability,” said Jay Oakman, COO at ABC Companies. “We appreciate Congressman Frost taking the time to visit, and we look forward to continuing these important conversations to support the transportation industry and the communities we serve.”
