Bill Summary
Relative to the operation of electric buses by transit agencies and school bus operators. Transportation.
AI Summary
This bill aims to transition all buses operated by transit agencies and school bus operators in Massachusetts to zero-emissions electric buses by December 31, 2035. It sets interim targets for electric bus adoption, requiring 25% of buses to be electric by 2025 and 50% by 2030. The bill also requires transit agencies and school bus operators to submit electric bus rollout plans detailing their transition strategies, including infrastructure upgrades, bus purchase/conversion schedules, and training plans. It allows for limited extensions or exemptions from the electric bus requirements under certain circumstances beyond the operators' control, such as delays in bus delivery or inability to meet daily mileage needs.
