Ann Arbor Area Transportation offers public meetings to learn more about Zero Emission Bus options

ANN ARBOR, MI –  The Ann Arbor Area Transportation Authority (TheRide) has announced that a research report on Zero Emission Buses done by consultants, Stantec, outlines and compares possible Zero Emission Bus options. Two public meetings are being held to share information about zero emission buses in November. The report focuses on Battery Electric buses and Hydrogen Fuel Cell-Electric buses by outlining the benefits of each, the cost and potential timelines. While the report makes no recommendations, it outlines several potential scenarios that allows for a certain number of vehicles to be transitioned to Zero Emission each year, culminating with a full Zero Emission fleet around the year 2040. “TheRide is dedicated to doing our part in our communities’ sustainability goals. Our study on Zero Emission Buses is our first step to determine the future of our bus inventory,” Matthew Carpenter, CEO of TheRide said. “We look forward to presenting our findings to the public and to listen to their preferred priorities of TheRide.” The public is invited to attend an in-person or virtual meeting.
