  • Dayton, Ohio Invests in High Tech Trolleybuses with In-Motion Charging
    Published by the Electric Traction Committee, Edmonton Trolley Coalition Edited by Retired Employees of the Edmonton Transit Service VOL. 36 Adopting Tomorrow’s Technology Today: Dayton, Ohio invests in High Tech Trolleybuses with In-Motion Charging After lengthy testing, the Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority (GDRTA) is buying 26 NexGen Electric Trolleys and will put the first production model in service by 2019. The RTA Board authorized spending up to $57.4 million for the 26 vehicles and parts, plus 15 more NexGen Trolleys that will be bought once federal funding is in place, Executive Director Mark Donaghy told reporters. It is the largest bus contract in RTA history. The NexGen Electric Trolleybus bus costs 63 percent more than a standard diesel transit bus, but has a 20-year, 800,000 mile life compared to the diesel’s 12-year, 500,000 mile life, Donaghy said. Electric trolleys are cheaper to operate, better for the environment and quieter than a diesel bus, he explained. “Using electric instead of diesel buses is a step towards a clean air environment for Dayton,” said Peggy Ann Berry, an occupational safety and health professional and Climate Reality Project leader in Dayton. “Diesel buses release dirty fossil fuel emissions into the environment. These emissions exacerbate asthma attacks as well as add to the cardiac burden of older adults.” RTA is now finalizing the cost of the NexGen after making several modifications to the prototype. The US Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is picking up 80 percent of the cost, and the rest comes from the local sales tax and rider fares.

    Edmonton Trolley Coalition Bulletin Don’t pull the shade on Edmonton’s Environment Volume #5 Published by the Edmonton Trolley Coalition, c/o 6811-31 Avenue, Edmonton, AB Canada T6K 3T5 www.geocities.com/trolley_coalition E-mail: [email protected] Editor: Robert R. Clark, retired supervisor of transit planning In this Issue: Where do we go from here? . .. p. 1 Our Editorial: Do the savings add up? . p. 1 Local News . .. p. 2 North American News . .. p. 3 Where do we go from here? At the March 16th Meeting of Council’s Transportation and Public Works Committee, city administrators put forward a proposal to hold public hearings on the future of the trolley system on April 8th, along with a recommendation that the city discontinue all trolley service permanently this summer. After hearing concerns from the Edmonton Transit System Advisory Board, the Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues, the Edmonton Trolley Coalition and an Inglewood resident, Council’s committee decided to defer the hearings until late June. One of the main concerns presented was the apparent haste to rush into an irreversible decision on an important issue; other concerns surrounded the controversial consultants report which administration had used to support its recommendation. In the interim, administration has been directed to consult with citizens. Consultation is now planned to take place at two public meetings, by telephone, as well as though on-board surveys of transit riders. It is hoped the consultation process will be objective in its method as well as in any information provided to citizens. Objectivity and balance were two problems identified in the consultants study.
