Document Description
SBCAG and VCTC wish to replace three aging diesel vehicles with zero emissions vehicles to increase reliability and reduce GHG emissions in line with CARB's ICT rule and VCTC's zero emission transition plan. VCTC has 31 aging diesel over the road coaches that experience frequent mechanical breakdowns mid trip that are disrupting passengers' long commutes, reducing reliability, and damaging VCTC and SBCAG's efforts at attracting more users to the transit network. Replacing these buses will increase reliability, increase VCTC's operating capacity and lead to more transit use.
