The North County Transit District in Oceanside, California, has initiated the construction of a hydrogen fueling station to support its new hydrogen fuel cell electric buses for the BREEZE service. This $8 million project, partially funded by the Federal Transit Administration's grant program, the California Energy Commission, and congressional funds, aims to have a quarter of the fleet operating on hydrogen by 2025 and completely transition to electric by 2040. The project also includes workforce training and an apprenticeship program in cooperation with Palomar College to enhance clean energy infrastructure. NCTD anticipates the fueling station to be operational by summer 2025, with the hydrogen buses serving routes in various areas including Oceanside, Vista, Carlsbad, and more. The introduction of these zero-emission buses is seen as a pivotal step towards reducing greenhouse gases, improving air quality, and establishing a sustainable transportation system for North County and San Diego. The initiative aligns with efforts to replace end-of-life compressed natural gas buses, leading to a cleaner and more reliable public transportation network.
