Many cities across America, including Rochester, are implementing sustainable programs to combat climate change by reducing carbon emissions. Fossil fuel combustion is a major contributor to carbon emissions, which in turn lead to climate change. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of sustainable transportation, with public transit being a key player in reducing carbon emissions and promoting personal health. Rochester's Regional Transit Service (RTS) has taken significant steps towards sustainability by introducing electric and hydrogen fuel cell buses, resulting in a notable reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and cost savings. The hydrogen fuel cell buses have the advantage of long-distance travel capabilities and quick refueling times, supported by grant funding. Public transportation not only helps in reducing carbon emissions but also provides affordable and accessible transportation options for lower-income families, ensuring access to essential services like healthcare and groceries. Additionally, access to public transit encourages physical activity, leading to improved overall health.
