SARTA received Calstart’s 2020 Blue Sky Award for its use of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and its Borrow A Bus program. The program aims to create awareness for hydrogen technology.
The two companies will test intelligent tire sensors and prototype tires on SARTA’s fleet ofdiesel and zero emission hydrogen fuel cell-powered (HFC) buses.
The ‘Borrow a Bus’ program was created to raise awareness about and generate support for zero-emission technology in transit applications.
The transit agency received Calstart’s prestigious Blue Sky Award in 2020 for being a pioneer in the use of HFC vehicles in the public transit space and for creating the groundbreaking “Borrow A Bus” program that raises public awareness about and generates support for H2 technology.
As part of the tour, one of the transit authority’s hydrogen fuel cell-powered buses will be loaded on a trailer and driven cross-country where it will make a 10-day swing through the Golden State.
Through partnerships with more than 70 transit agencies deploying over 300 zero-emission buses, CTE has developed relationships with the many different players that support the zero-emission vehicle transition processes.
