The estimate is based on the report “Full electrification of Lund city buss traffic, a simulation study” written by Lars Lindgren at LTH, that do not cover route 20. Route 20x is an extended route 20, ending at ESS – a bit longer than today’s route 20. The extrapolation is based on an estimate on the transport needs in route 20x in 2030 and 2050, with 12 meter, 18,7 meter and 24 meter buses. Three different charging systems are evaluated, two conductive charging systems and one inductive. One conductive version is commercial and represent current state of the art with only bus stop charging. The other conductive version is expected to be commercial in a few years and partly include dynamic charging (while the bus is moving, also called ERS – Electric Road System). The Inductive solution is also commercial and do also include partly dynamic charging. Depending on the selection of energy supply system (Inductive or Conductive, ERS or No ERS) the additional investment cost for a full electric bus transport system between Lund C and ESS NE is 9 to 32 MSEK to cover for the transport capacity needed in 2030.

  • North Dakota
    NORTH DAKOTA SCHOOL BUS DRIVER’S GUIDE MARCH 2015 EDITION DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION Kirsten Baesler, STATE SUPERINTENDENT Bismarck, North Dakota 58505-0440 2 A MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION Over 40,000 students are transported each day to North Dakota schools in school buses. The safety of these students and the efficiency of a district's transportation program depends on the dedicated men and women who accept the important responsibility of driving our school buses. This publication is the thirteenth edition of the handbook for North Dakota school bus drivers. We hope that this handbook answers many questions and gives school bus drivers the necessary guidelines to perform effectively and efficiently. Driving a school bus involves much more than merely driving a vehicle on the highways. The school bus driver must also be responsible for the safety and welfare of children, must be teacher by example, must promote good public relations, and must understand how to properly use and care for the school bus, a complex and expensive piece of equipment. The purpose of this guide is to provide each school bus driver with the basic information needed to develop the skills, attitudes, and knowledge that result in safe and efficient driving. It is my sincere hope that each of North Dakota's school bus drivers will study and properly apply the information presented in this guide to assure a safer transportation program for our students. Driving a school bus is one of the most important jobs we have in our school systems. You carry our state’s most precious resource.

  • SOUND TRANSIT MOTION NO. M99-46 Revised Policy Regarding
    SOUND TRANSIT MOTION NO. M99-46 Revised policy regarding advertising on Sound Transit vehicles and at transit facilities and stations BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS Meeting: Date: Type of action: Staff contact: Phone: Public & Government 7/2/99 Discussion Betty Laurs 206-398-5120 Affairs Recommendation Board of Directors 7/8/99 Discussion/Possible Action Tim Healy 206-398-5062 ACTION: Motion No. M99-46 would revise and supersede Motion No. 98-79 adopting a policy allowing advertising on Sound Transit vehicles and at transit facilities and stations to: 1. Exempt coaches leased or purchased from partner agencies that already have revenue-generating advertising on them from a six-month moratorium period allowing only Sound Transit self- promotion advertising, and 2. Allow Sound Transit the option of contracting directly with an outside vendor to sell, produce, install, maintain and remove advertising on any or all of its fleet after the six-month period of self-promotion on new vehicles. BACKGROUND: In negotiating agreements with Community Transit, King County Metro and Pierce Transit to operate Sound Transit services, it has become evident that the agency’s adopted advertising policy requires some minor modifications. 1. Exempt coaches leased or purchased from partner agencies that already have revenue-generating advertising on them from a six-month moratorium period allowing only Sound Transit self- promotion advertising The previously adopted policy stipulates that only advertising for the agency and its services be allowed for six months after service is launched to avoid distract from Sound Transit's identity. It was originally assumed that ST would only use new coaches purchased directly from manufacturers.
