The transit agency will only be introducing its Consolidated Fixed Route Network at a Level 3 service and its SunRide microtransit service at this time.
The plan introduces three new services: a commuter service — the 10 Commuter Link; microtransit known as SunRide; and Route 1X the first east-to-west express line.
Since March of 2020, SunLine has followed a meticulous two-step cleaning and disinfecting procedure that includes fogging with a hospital-grade disinfectant through each bus’s HVAC operating system.
CARB requires all public transit agencies to submit a board approved Rollout Plan describing how they will gradually transition to a 100% zero-emission bus fleet.
The incentive state discount voucher program, HVIP, offers deep discounts on clean vehicles to small business owners and transit agencies.
The GM/CEO of SunLine Transit notes that transit agencies are in the transportation business and that AVs would become part of transit agencies in a discussion with Paul Comfort.
Buses are now eligible for a $300,000 voucher incentive under the California Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project.
In its partnership with CARB, SunLine will be testing one full-year of revenue service, measuring environmental impact and sustainability of the fuel cell-powered heavy-duty transit buses.
The company is partnering with ElDorado National and BAE Systems to deliver five buses to the Palm Desert, Calif.-based agency.
At SunLine, which also recently celebrated its 40th anniversary, Skiver leads an agency that operates 14 local fixed-routes, one express line, a commuter service, and curb-to-curb paratransit. It is also extremely progressive in its usage and testing of alternative fuels, including hydrogen-powered fuel-cell electric buses.
