Planning 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.

Advanced Research Projects Agency - Infrastructure (ARPA-I)

America needs transportation technologies that decrease long term costs, increase system safety, enhance infrastructure resilience, and make America more globally competitive. Delivering that vision will require bold new investments in advanced and emerging materials, structures, components, systems, and capabilities – both physical and digital – that have the potential to radically transform our transportation infrastructure.
