GreenPower Motor Company Inc. received an order for two EV Star All-Electric Min–eBuses from San Diego Airport Parking Co. (SDAPC), which will be purchased utilizing the California HVIP voucher program along with a 50-month lease-financing program.
SDAPC provides parking for travelers using the San Diego International Airport, which serves about 50,000 passengers every day and more than 20 million passengers annually. SDAPC provides a free shuttle service for its customers to and from the airport and is committed to green initiatives in its operations.
“We are excited to enter into a long-term partnership with SDAPC as they continue to enhance their sustainability initiatives,” said Ryne Shetterly, VP, sales and marketing. “With a $90,000 voucher from the state of California and a lease-financing program available, the EV Star offers operators a world class zero-emission shuttle vehicle at a very affordable all-in cost.”
The EV Star is an all–electric, zero-emission, 25-foot bus that seats up to 19 passengers, with an operational range of 100 to 150 miles on a single charge. The vehicle can be used for microtransit services, paratransit, vanpool, shuttle, school, employee transportation, tourist operations, or cargo transport.
A major goal of the pilot, which begins in April, is to test the speed, functionality, and durability of new handheld devices to scan Ventra and paper tickets.
Traditionally, bus lane enforcement has relied on manual processes carried out by transit police or parking enforcement officers. While it may be effective in certain municipalities, this approach is resource-intensive and very difficult to sustain.
A phased approach to technology, in-house capabilities, and workforce investment is helping transportation leaders break the reactive cycle and build more resilient, revenue-focused operations.
The landmark event empowers riders across six agencies in the Puget Sound region to tap-and-ride transit using a contactless credit or debit card or a mobile wallet.
Now in its latest edition, the awards recognize forward-thinking solutions that improve safety, operational efficiency, sustainability, rider experience, and overall system performance.
Menard discusses how data-driven signal prioritization is improving efficiency, reliability, and ridership, while offering insight into the innovations driving the next generation of smart mobility. Together, they explore how technology and collaboration are paving the way for a more connected, sustainable future in transit.
The pilot program showcases two companies’ technology at eight bus stops. The companies submitted their ideas through the Transit Tech Lab, which is backed by the Partnership Fund for New York City and provides an accelerated pathway for early to growth-stage companies to solve public transportation challenges for the largest transit agencies in North America.
