The California Transportation Commission voted to help provide a portion of funds needed for San Mateo County Transit District to transition toward a 100% zero emission bus fleet, the transit agency announced Friday.
The approval provided $14.8 million in funding for SamTrans, which will cover about 45% of the district’s South Base Battery Electric Bus Infrastructure project’s total costs. Once completed, this project will provide charging infrastructure for 37 buses, according to SamTrans.
Out of a fleet of 319 vehicles, SamTrans has already purchased 37 battery-electric buses and 10 hydrogen fuel cell electric buses to replace the existing diesel buses. The agency plans to convert its entire fleet of 319 buses by 2034. The state’s zero-emission mandate is for 2040. The CTC money is part of the Local Partnership Competitive Program under Senate Bill 1, passed in 2017.
