The North County Transit District (NCTD) in Oceanside, California, has initiated an $8 million hydrogen fueling station project at West Bus Division to transition its BREEZE bus fleet to zero-emission operations. This undertaking aligns with NCTD's target of making its entire BREEZE fleet emission-free by 2040. The fueling station will support hydrogen fuel cell electric buses, with plans to account for one quarter of NCTD's fleet in 2025. Funding from grants, including the Federal Transit Administration's Low or No Emission Vehicle program, and the California Energy Commission, is facilitating the procurement of hydrogen and battery electric buses for NCTD. NCTD's Board Chair and CEO emphasized the transformative impact of these cleaner, quieter hydrogen buses on service reliability and air quality in the region. U.S. Rep. Mike Levin's advocacy secured significant funding for the project, highlighting the environmental benefits like reduced greenhouse gases and cleaner air. The hydrogen fueling station project, expected to finish by summer 2025, symbolizes a shift towards sustainable public transportation, championed by various stakeholders to build a more environmentally friendly and efficient transit network for the community.
