METRO recently spoke with CALSTART’s National Transit Bus Program Manager about this year’s report as well as the state of zero-emission buses overall, including how both the U.S. and Canada will continue to grow their ZEB fleets thanks to strong federal funding, the reasons for hydrogen’s growth, and much more.
With a fresh rebrand under our belt, check out some of METRO's recent videos including a great conversation with CTAA Executive Director Scott Bogren on funding, challenges facing small and mid-sized transit agencies, and fare-free public transit, and all of our APTA EXPO videos from the show floor.
Jared Schnader, Sr. Director, Bus Initiative Lead, at Calstart, joins METRO’s Executive Editor Alex Roman to discuss zero emission buses in public transit, lessons being learned as more agencies are scaling up, what the future may hold, and much more.
The EV Jump Start funding lane covers up to 75% of eligible infrastructure equipment and software costs for projects up to $750,000.
A new, global effort is pushing to reach 100% zero-emission new truck and bus sales in just 30 years.
As the industry landscape changes with new technology innovations in propulsion systems, software developments, and what “transit service” means, another aspect of the overall ecosystem has evolved: contract purchasing of zero-emission buses.
