  • 1 2021 Electric Truck & Bus Update, Part 2
    2021 Electric Truck & Bus Update, Part 2: Buses By John Benson September 2021 1. Introduction This is Part 2 and focuses on buses. Battery-electric buses are being deployed more rapidly that medium and heavy battery-electric trucks, mainly because of federal and state incentives. A major consideration, especially for electric utility professionals, is that battery-electric buses take a huge amount of energy to charge them. Also many of these vehicles will perform depot recharging en masse. This will be mostly overnight in transit depots. These facilities are currently not prepared for the massive load increase as their vehicles transition to electric operation. The flowing is a description of and link to part 1 of this series: https://energycentral.com/c/ec/2021-electric-truck-bus-update-part-1-trucks The following was the last paper on this subject, which was posted in January. Electric Refuse Trucks & Battery-Electric Buses: This post is a review of both of these two-vehicle types and considerations as they electrify. https://energycentral.com/c/cp/electric-refuse-trucks-battery-electric-buses Section 2 of this report will describe all major manufacturers of buses, their offerings and any new developments by those firms. Section 3 will describe how fleet managers can evaluate and remedy the overload risk described above. 2. Buses A few of the big players in the large-to-medium truck market are also players in the bus market – see the first two below, for instance (see part 1 of this series for truck models for these two manufacturers). Also the third firm below is not only the largest player in the bus market, and a technology leader, but is starting to spin their technologies off into other markets, including trucks 2.1.

  • Public Transportation Fiscal Health Final Report
    FINAL REPORT January 9, 2013 PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION FISCAL HEALTH AND COMPARING ITS FUNDING TO STATE TRANSPORTATION FUNDING Prepared by: Joint Transportation Committee PO Box 40937 Olympia, WA 98504-0937 Lead Staff: Gene Baxstrom, Joint Transportation Committee (360) 786-7398 Mark Matteson, House Transportation Committee (360) 786-7145 Mary Fleckenstein, Joint Transportation Committee (360) 786-7312 Hayley Gamble, Senate Transportation Committee (360) 786-7452 David Munnecke, House Transportation Committee (360) 786-7315 DATA LIMITATIONS This report was completed using available data, largely from the Summary of Public Transportation published annually by the Washington State Department of Transportation. This report does not extensively use data from the National Transit Database because it does not include historical data on rural systems to the same extent as it does for urban and small urban systems. Also, for a given year or time period, the state data has varied from the NTD data because of differing publication deadlines and data definitions. As a result, for data consistency, the report uses the Summary of Public Transportation data. The state Summary of Public Transportation data sets have limitations. While longer term graphs portray trends, individual years or data points may reflect data error or changes in data treatment. Definitions of certain data may vary among transit systems or have changed over time. Data in some cases is estimated, such as for vanpool ridership and transit ridership in the Seattle fare-free zone, for example. In an effort to mitigate some of these data anomalies, this report groups transit agencies into rural, small urban and large urban systems and shows trends over time.

Center on Globalization, Governance & Competitiveness, Duke University 2 Summary Public transit substantially reduces fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions, making it a wise public investment in a new, carbon-constrained economy. A typical passenger car carrying one person gets 25 passenger miles per gallon, while a conventional bus at its capacity of 70 (seated and standing) gets 163 passenger miles per gallon. These fuel savings yield commensurate cuts in CO2 emissions. A passenger car carrying one person emits 89 pounds of CO2 per 100 passenger miles, while a full bus emits only 14 pounds. In addition, these benefits of conventional transit buses are further enhanced by a growing number of alternative options known as “green buses,” including electric hybrid, all-electric, and other advanced technologies.
