The buses deliver on the agency’s Zero-Emission Bus Rollout Plan, designed to transition its fleet to 100% zero-emission by 2040, in accordance with the California Air Resources Board’s Innovative Clean Transit regulation.
The buses will all be in service with Canadian public transit agency EXO.
Funding for the buses was provided through a 2019 Low-No Program grant award.
The vehicles will be used to support the operator’s growing luxury transportation service, and as such, offer fit and finish details that are designed to align with ECS’s high touch customer service and passenger experience.
The announcement builds on Miami’s commitment to transportation electrification by expanding its fleet to include an additional 42 buses — bringing the total to 75 electric transit buses from Proterra.
The purchase was made through California’s State Cooperative Procurement, which New Flyer was selected for as a top-scoring approved supplier in 2019.
The order of 14 new Vicinity Lightning™ EV buses are for delivery in 2022 to Calgary Transit, with the option to purchase supplemental vehicles at a set price over a five-year period.

The options are being exercised from New Flyer’s backlog in the third year of a five-year contract originally awarded in 2018.
The new E-Z Rider II buses are part of SFMTA’s ongoing effort to modernize its Muni fleet to benefit customers and reduce maintenance costs.
