Transit agencies across North America are adopting zero emission technology for their fleets. APTA provides a number of services to support members interested in better understanding zero emission buses (ZEBs) including committee meetings; educational webinars and sessions at APTA conferences; and educational materials. You can find more information on these activities below. We have also captured some key resources from transit agencies, TCRP and others.
Get Involved at APTA:
The Clean Propulsion Committee is a forum for discussion of all advanced vehicle technology in public transportation, including fuel cells and battery electric technology. Under this committee, APTA created a Battery Electric Bus Subcommittee specifically for discussion and sharing of information and best practices around battery electric bus and charger deployment. APTA members are welcome to join both committees:
If you would like to contact the Clean Propulsion Committee or Battery Electric Bus Subcommittee staff advisors, please use the Zero Emission Bus Contact Form.
