New Flyer wants to help cities, agencies transition to electric bus fleets

This is a great opportunity for renewables/storage to help cities/counties/transit agencies make the transition to a zero carbon future. 

Cities and their transit agencies have made a renewed push toward adopting more environmentally-friendly transit fleets — namely battery-electric buses. But they face many challenges in making the transition to greener fleets. 

Another challenge with adopting electric transportation is implementing a comprehensive network, as opposed to just dropping a few electric vehicles into a traditional network. Supportive infrastructure, interoperability with power grids and system education are important elements, but also difficult ones for cities to tackle on their own. New Flyer Infrastructure Solutions' complete program management could provide cities the guidance necessary for making investments that are long-term sustainable.
