The American Public Transportation Association's (APTA) 2024 annual conference reflected a strong commitment to the transition to zero-emission buses (ZEBs) among transit agencies. While acknowledging the absence of direct economic benefits, agencies feel compelled to invest in sustainable vehicles to support healthy communities and address climate change. The momentum for clean fleets is evident, with a significant percentage of agencies planning to purchase battery-electric, hybrid, and hydrogen fuel-cell buses in the coming years. State mandates and agency initiatives are driving these transitions, with over half of agencies already incorporating low- and zero-emission buses in their fleets. Despite the substantial investments required in infrastructure and training, agencies believe that the transition is a necessary step to fulfill their responsibility to the public and the environment. The majority of industry professionals at the conference affirmed that the ZEB transition is essential and cannot be delayed. Collaboration, resource-sharing, and innovation will be crucial in navigating the challenges ahead as the industry collectively moves towards a more sustainable future.
