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 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.
Original funding for the electric bus came from the FTA through the Low- or No-Emission Grant Program.
The order includes 17 CNG buses, which are expected to be delivered in Q4 2021.
The agency's long-term commitment, first announced January 2020, is to achieve a 100% zero-emissions fleet powered by renewable energy no later than 2040.
CTDOT owns and operates nearly all public transportation services in Connecticut, delivering more than 27 million annual trips.
The vehicles will be used for university shuttle services and delivery is scheduled in the third quarter of 2021.
The 40-foot buses produce lower emissions than standard fueled vehicles and older CNG vehicles, helping improve air quality in the community.
