Zero-Emission Bus Infrastructure: Finding the Right Solution for Your Agency (Emerging Leaders Program)

As Zero-Emission Bus (ZEB) technology advances it will become a more viable solution for agencies to adopt into their fleets. Some agencies such as those located in California must educate themselves quickly as they adapt to meet the 2040 California Air Resources Board (CARB) ZEB mandate. This presentation will serve as a resource tool to help agencies looking to learn more about ZEB to gain a better understanding of the infrastructure considerations their agencies must make when deciding on a viable ZEB solution. This presentation will also explore the type of ZEB infrastructure solutions currently available, associated costs, construction timelines, service restrictions, maintenance considerations, and challenges associated to each solution.
