The agency becomes the 12th in California to purchase zero-emission buses (ZEBs) from NFI.
Metro serves the Washington DC metropolitan area and provides approximately 79 million annual trips on 136 bus lines.
The MTA Selection Committee unanimously recommended an award of the buses to Nova Bus based on evaluation criteria such as overall project cost, and delivery.
The order follows a prior BT purchase of five Xcelsior Charge buses in thirty-five-foot and sixty-foot lengths, delivered in 2020.
This contract follows an order of four Xcelsior Charge buses delivered to MRTA in 2021.
The order advances NYCT’s goal to reduce New York City’s carbon footprint through sustainable public transportation.
The order includes options to purchase up to 120 additional Xcelsior forty-foot, hybrid- electric buses under a five-year contract.
The contract marks New Flyer’s first battery-electric bus order from RTD.
The METRO Board authorized the immediate purchase of 20 of those electric buses and this order will be its first electric bus purchase on a total fleet of 1,300.
The new contract advances NJ Transit’s zero-emission bus program to reach the goal of transitioning to a 100% ZEB fleet by 2040.
