  1. 100% Electric Bus Goal for MTD

  2. In a little more than a decade, one part of the bus will be obsolete. The conversion to Zero Emission Buses has arrived.

  3. The tailpipe. The conversion to Zero Emission Buses has arrived.

  4. CA Transit Agencies with Zero Emission Buses or ZEBs on order • County Connection • San Joaquin RTD • Porterville Transit • Antelope Valley Transit • Foothill Transit • SunLine Transit • Anaheim Resort Transportation • Orange County Transportation Authority • Anteater Express (UC Irvine) • Long Beach Transit • Gtrans (City of Gardena) • Los Angeles County MTA • Santa Barbara MTD • Monterey-Salinas Transit • Stanford University • Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District • SolTrans Jimmy O’Dea, Union of Concerned Scientists, and Sara Chandler and Joel Espino, The Greenlining Institute, Delivering Opportunity: How Electric Buses and Trucks Can Create Jobs and Improve Public Health in California, October 2016, available at http://www.ucsusa.org/sites/default/fi les/attach/2016/10/UCS-Electric-Buses-Report.pdf

  5. China Leading the Way 99% of 385,000 Ebuses deployed – Shenzhen 100% electric fleet - 16,359 buses

  6. With the Innovative Clean Transit rule at CARB and Governor Brown’s Executive Order that now sets a goal for complete carbon neutrality in all sectors by 2045, it is no longer a question of if/can transit agencies switch to zero-emissions, but when they will transition.  Electric bus + zero emission fuel = Zero tailpipe pollutants and zero carbon emissions

  7. 5 Reasons for setting ZEB goals now • Maintains SBMTD’s EV leadership. • Take advantage of early incentives and grants. • Assists SB County and its cities reach their GHG goals. • Reduces your Total Cost of Ownership. • Creates a robust market for ZEBs that drives down prices.

  8. Significant Funding Opportunities for Vehicles • BUILD Grants (replacing TiGer • Clean Fuels Grant Program • LCFS

  9. Significant Funding Opportunities for Charging

  10. The public supports ZEBs • Quieter inside and out. • Better handling, ride. • Eliminates unhealthy tailpipe emissions for passengers & drivers including the elderly, children, those around schools, hospitals, the bus depot and transit center, • CREATES JOBS: California is the electric bus manufacturing capital of the nation, with 3 out of the 4 leading electric bus makers. Proximity = Improved logistics.

  11. ZEBs are like the iPhone.The flip phone couldn’t compete & smart phones just got better and better. 2006 2007 2018

  12. California wants a better bus • Los Angeles Metro Transit – 100% electric bus fleet by 2030 • Foothill Transit – 100% electric by 2030 • Antelope Valley Transit Agency – 100% electric by 2018 Agencies representing more than 1/3 of California’s 10,000 buses have now committed to 100% electric buses by 2030. Jimmy O’Dea, Union of Concerned Scientists, and Sara Chandler and Joel Espino, The Greenlining Institute, Delivering Opportunity: How Electric Buses and Trucks Can Create Jobs and Improve Public Health in California, October 2016, available at http://www.ucsusa.org/sites/default/fi les/attach/2016/10/UCS-Electric-Buses-Report.pdf

  13. should join them and set a goal of 100% zero emission buses by 2030 because electric is BETTER.
