The district is scheduled to have a totally zero-emission bus fleet by 2034, six years ahead of California’s 2040 deadline for transit agencies.
The microtransit contract will serve communities in the East Palo Alto and Half Moon Bay zones to supplement changes to SamTrans bus service and will provide additional transportation options for those communities.
The free passes will assist socio-economic disadvantaged communities and students.
She will succeed Acting GM Carter Mau, who previously informed the board of his intent to retire in the coming months.
The pilot, which was conducted on SamTrans Route 281 along University Avenue, reduced northbound intersection delays by 45%.
The buses are expected to begin service in 2023.
The new network features increased frequency on 15 routes in the system on weekdays and weekends, additional service later in the evenings and on weekends, and more.
The policy requires VTA’s more than 2,000 employees and contractors to report their vaccination status by April 29, 2022.
Wi-Fi is currently being enabled on the 800 series articulated buses, with the entire SamTrans fleet expected to be online by February 2022.
The $415,000 contract for preliminary design services is an important step for the redevelopment and preparation of SamTrans North and South Base bus yard facilities to support a 100% zero-emission fleet.
