2022 BIL UTC CompetitionPlanning for Electric Buses
Planning for the adoption of electric buses and the installation of charging infrastructure will likely be driven by the transit agency, in coordination with the many partners previously discussed. Many existing resources provide guidance on incorporating BEBs into service, such as the Transit...
Planning for Micromobility
Given the shorter distance of many trips taken with micromobility devices, micromobility charging infrastructure planning typically occurs at the community- or site-level.
Charging of micromobility devices may take place at home, at work, or in public places. For example, Oregon...
Electric Bus Partners
The deployment of charging infrastructure for BEBs by transit agencies requires coordination with many of the same partners described above for light-duty EV chargers. Relationships and coordination with Tribal, State, and Federal agencies can provide access to information, resources, and...
Micromobility Partners
Deploying micromobility charging infrastructure, shown in the figure below, involves a smaller ecosystem of partners including shared micromobility providers, micromobility charging infrastructure providers, and site hosts. Shared micromobility providers are public or private entities that own,...
Benefits and Implementation Challenges of Bus Electrification
The number of transit BEBs currently on order or operating in the U.S. grew 112 percent from 2018 to 2021. As of 2021, more than 1,300 zero-emission transit buses were delivered or awarded to U.S. transit agencies, although this encompasses only 2 percent of the U.S. transit bus fleet. Similarly...
Electric Bus Basics
Battery electric buses and electric school buses run on electricity only and require recharging their onboard battery packs from an external power source. There are three types of charging infrastructure for battery electric buses, all of which can be installed at the maintenance or storage...Electric Micromobility Basics
Electric micromobility includes any small, low-speed, electric-powered transportation device, including electric-assist bicycles (e-bikes), electric scooters (e-scooters), and other small, lightweight, wheeled electric-powered conveyances.
Electric micromobility devices are...
