Building a Solid Foundation for Your Zero Emission Bus Transition (Leadership APTA 2022)

This study examines major decision points and blind spots for CEO’s and transit systems new to zero emission fleets.  This study will summarize unexpected problems and common pain points for CEO’s as they embark on a new ZEB implementation.

We’ll discuss drivers and motivators of transitioning to ZEB, as well as present research and data that should be gathered and understood by agencies early in their transition.  We’ll pull back the curtain on utility relationships and energy sourcing barriers, and also address workforce considerations and challenges in the ZEB experience and supply chain.
