The MTA and the New York Power Authority join forces to create a city bus electrification project
The first phase of the project includes the construction of more than 60 overhead and wired dispensers for New York City public transportation in five locations to prepare for the arrival of 60 new electric buses.
The MTA aims to transition to a zero-emission bus fleet by 2040.
The agency currently has 15 electric buses in operation. Most of the fleet still runs on diesel or hybrids.
This initiative is part of a $54 million project that will bring more than 60 chargers to five locations across the city to accommodate 60 new electric buses expected to arrive early next year.
When all electric buses and chargers are operational, it will be the largest electric bus charging project in the country.
