The $56.22 billion to $88.91 billion estimate accounts for vehicles, infrastructure, technical assistance, and federal research and development support.
The agency is working on collecting data and feedback on the feasibility of its new Proterra zero-emissions battery-electric buses as it powers through the impacts of the pandemic.
Inductive charging can keep buses in service longer, save money, and reduce disruption to routes.
Using BYD’s battery electric driveline technology, ADL will assemble the buses at its factory in Falkirk, Scotland, ensuring the investment benefits the local economy.
The order is scheduled to be delivered to ABC Companies in the third and fourth quarters of 2021 for resale into the U.S.
Projects include designing inductive charging stations for the agency’s commuter bus service network and developing a countywide electrification transition plan.
The 60-foot Xcelsior CHARGE transit bus is the first of 10 for the region's City Line Bus Rapid Transit project, which is planned to launch in 2022.
To provide workforce development on Xcelsior CHARGE NG™ technologies, New Flyer will host a no cost virtual training session on May 26, through the Vehicle Innovation Center
The first 11 LFSe+ buses will run exclusively on the agency’s upcoming East-West Bus Rapid Transit line. Four additional vehicles will be used along regular routes.
The new transit center will serve as a central transfer point for six local routes, Park-n-Ride service to Cleveland, and shuttle service for a local community college.
