Zero-Emission Buses
By 2035, 70% of DPW&T’s transit fleet will convert to zero-emission buses. From cleaner air to quieter neighborhoods, the benefits of zero-emission buses (ZEBs) will make this innovative transition an easy choice for The County. Hear about TheBus’s transition to zero-emission buses and provide feedback to the County on how you’d like to see transit go green!
