  1. SARTA FUEL CELL BUS AND FUELING PROJECT

  2. SARTA Key Facts Transport 2.7 million passengers in 2013 200 employees $18 million budget Operates express routes to Akron and Cleveland (the longest route in Ohio) 30 routes and countywide paratransit Extensive use of technology

  3. SARTA Bus Routes

  4. Proline Ridership Profile Routes by 2009 Ridership

  5. SARTA Vehicle Types 11 CNG Paratransit (built in IN) 11 CNG MV1 (built in IN) 8 GNG transit buses 3 CNG Honda Civics (built in Ohio) 3 CNG Chrysler Town & County (converted in Ohio) 4 Diesel Electric Hybrids 1 Diesel/CNG Duel Fuel 40 buses use B5 bio diesel

  6. SARTA Initiatives Going GREEN – Hybrid Vehicles, Bike Racks on Buses

  7. SARTA CNG Usage OVER 15,000 PUBIC USES SINCE MAY 2012 70,000 Gasoline Gallons Equ (GGE) used last month 35,000 GGE to the public in May 2014 Busiest public CNG facility in Ohio Public transactions are by credit card Users: Kimble, Pepsico, Hometown Ice, Earth & Wood, and Waste Management

  8. CNG/Diesel Study

  9. Public Station

  10. National Fuel Cell Bus Program Part of a $90 million Federal Transit Administration program Goal is to demonstrate fuel cell buses Set goals for performance and demonstration of vehicles Deployed vehicles IN NY, CA, MA, and SC fuel cell buses will be in Canton Total federal funding is $5.54 million

  11. American Fuel Cell Bus

  12. Bus Schematic

  13. Reliability Testing Second bus will be put through FTA’s required durability test at Altoona, This is required for any vehicle to be offered commercially as a production vehicle. Both buses should start production later in 2015.

  14. Fuel cell and converter

  15. Hydrogen Tanks

  16. Ventilation System

  17. Production bus

  18. No Emissions Bus Program SARTA, CALSTART, OSU, Sandia National Laboratory, National Renewal Laboratory Honda, Ballard, BAE, El Dorado are partner to bring 6 Fuel Cell buses to Ohio Sunline Transit in Palm Springs, CA ODOT granted SARTA $500,000 for hydrogen infrastructure First in US outside of California

  19. Project Goals for FTA/DOE

  20. Bus Specification

  21. NOLO Proposal If funded, will be the largest order of fuel cell buses produced in the nation Will be the interim step between demonstration and a production model. Also drives down the cost curve toward commercialization Provides the transit industry a heavy duty zero emissions vehicle.

  22. Hydrogen Station at UC Irvine

  23. Orange County Tri Gen

  24. Delivered H2 Storage

  25. Hydrogen Station The majority are in CA

  26. What does this mean for Ohio? Center of Excellence for mobile fuel cells Increased market for Ohio based companies High profile project that will increase exposure to Ohio companies Support roll out of new cars and buses
