SEPTA’s sustainability plan sets a target for the country’s sixth-largest public transit system to reduce greenhouse gas bovada pokeremissions 80 percent by 2050. ZEBs are a central component of the carbon-reduction strategy, with goals to replace the agency’s diesel and hybrid-electric buses upon reaching the end of their useful life. SEPTA operates more than 1,400 busses that serve 121 routes.
Burns supported consulting firm Sam Schwartz in the development of SEPTA’s Zero Emission Bus Master Plan. The feasibility study involved:
Burns’ findings were compiled into SEPTA’s Zero-Emission Bus Facility Analysis. The report informs future versions of SEPTA’s ZEB Playbook, providing details on costs and facility impacts associated with the transition to a battery-electric bus fleet.
Burns has previously performed analyses of potential upgrades necessary to accommodate ZEB vehicles bovada pokerat specific SEPTA facilities, including a feasibility assessment for the Midvale Bus Facility.
In June 2023, SEPTA was awarded $80 million from the U.S. Federal Transit Administration’s Low- and No-Emission (Low-No) Vehicle program. The funding will enable SEPTA to modernize infrastructure systems across six bus maintenance facilities in preparation for the agency’s ZEB transition.
