Electrifying Public Transportation With an Industry Leader

As the first transit agency in the United States to bring a fast-charge electric bus into service, Foothill Transit has long held a leadership position in electrified transportation. Now it is taking the next step — developing a comprehensive master plan to transition its natural gas-fueled bus fleet to 100% battery electric by 2030.

TRANSPORTATION ELECTRIFICATION

A comprehensive plan will serve as an electrification road map for infrastructure and charging needs.

PROJECT STATS

Client
Foothill Transit

Location
Southern California

Completion Date
May 2019

Foothill Transit’s commitment to electrification is among the first projects of this scale in the nation, designed to be completed a decade ahead of the State of California’s mandate that all transit vehicles be “zero emission” by 2040. The transit agency serves 22 cities in Los Angeles County, supporting 39 routes with more than 350 buses.

Our team is providing consultative planning and conceptual engineering services for the effort in partnership with ebusplan, Greenlots and AMMA Transit Planning.

DEPOTS

Developing a fleet electrification road map requires a thoughtful and thorough consideration of a number of variables. The team will model the energy consumption of more than 350 bus routes to determine the capability of all-electric buses to complete each route and outline the resultant charging needs at two centralized depots.
