10 Funding Opportunities LoNo- Low or No Emission Vehicle Deployment Program Vehicles funded through FTA s LoNo program must meet more stringent energy-efficiency standards well beyond those of a standard bus. LoNo Program provides funding for transit agencies for capital acquisitions and leases of zero emission and lowemission transit buses, including acquisition, construction, and leasing of required supporting facilities such as recharging, refueling, and maintenance facilities.

11 LoNo FUNDING OPP $22.5M; proposals due Nov 23 Production vehicles only Non-attainment and maintenance areas, populated urban areas Federal Register details: For more information contact CALSTART Fred Silver at or Dr Wnuk at or call

30 CONVERTING TO AN ALL-ELECTRIC TRANSIT FLEET Len Engel, Executive Director Antelope Valley Transit Authority

31 CURRENT STATUS: SUBTITLED: TO INFINITY AND BEYOND! Currently, Right Now: Two 40 WAVE Ready BYD 40 battery electric buses. Construction will begin within the next month on the on WAVE 50kw inductive charger. Second WAVE in November. Jan construction of Phase 1 of depot charging infrastructure project.

32 INFINITY AND BEYOND II Thank You, Governor Brown! Transit & Intercity Rail Capital Grant $39M Project $24.4M from CalSTA $7.9M from FTA $7.1M AVTA Battery Electric Articulated Buses Battery Electric Commuter Coaches 11 Primary 200+kw inductive chargers 34 Secondary receivers (on the bus)

33 WAIT, DID YOU SAY 60 AND 45? WHO DOES THAT? A little background: November 2014 the Board Meeting to miss! AVTA will be releasing an RFP for (at least): over-the-road battery electric commuter coaches battery electric articulated buses for our future Bus Rapid Transit project battery electric transit buses.

34 POSSIBLE OPTIONS:

35 POSSIBLE OPTIONS II:

36 ENERGY: Four inductive chargers at each of our transit centers Lancaster City Park and Palmdale Transit Center. AVTA will supply energy for the LCP chargers. Current plan calls for additional chargers near Lancaster Metrolink Station and southeastern Palmdale. Depot (at the barn for us older guys) charging.

44 Promoting Clean Fuels from BC to BC West Coast Partnerships: Promotes petroleum reduction and sustainable transportation solutions on the I-5 Hwy99 corridor. Provides travelers with EV charging and alternative fuel infrastructure (CNG, Hydrogen, Biodiesel, Electricity) from British Columbia, Canada to Baja California, Mexico BC to BC. Supports green highway goals of Pacific Coast Collaborative (PCC) leaders and the West Coast Electric Fleets initiative in British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California.

45 Electric HOV Benefits Advancing Electric Vehicles: uses Washington s clean, renewable, low-cost hydropower reduces fuel and maintenance costs reduces greenhouse gas emissions helps meet state and federal clean air goals BPA federal hydroelectric power project in the Columbia River Basin. provides mobility choices creates green jobs, supports a green economy advances energy independence Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration 5

46 Washington State Transit Agencies* Exploring Electric Buses* * Highlighted transit agencies are testing or considering electric buses for their fleets. They may purchase vehicles on their own or through the state s heavy-duty bus contract. 6

47 Washington Public Transportation Powered By Electricity We ve been using electric mobility for 75 years! Link Light Rail and Tacoma Link Sound Transit operates 21 miles of Link Light Rail. Voters approved an expansion to add another 30 miles of track. Seattle Center Monorail Built in 1962 for the World s Fair, the Seattle Center Monorail is still operating daily on it s one mile track by the Space Needle. Trains carry approximately 2 million passengers every year. Trolley-Bus System Hilly Seattle is home to the 2 nd largest trolley fleet in the nation. Metro is replacing the trolley fleet with 174 New Flyer electric trolleys. The new vehicles will use 30% less electricity and can operate off-wire. Metro and San Francisco MTA teamed up on contracting for competitive pricing. 7

48 King County Metro Aims for All Hybrid & Electric Buses by 2018 Purchased 3 Proterra all-electric buses (with an option to purchase up to 200 buses) Anticipate receiving 3 40-foot production buses from Proterra in November and December that will go into service for a full year of R&D testing on two routes in Bellevue in 2016, thanks to a $4.7m federal grant. Testing 40-ft Proterra Catalyst demonstration bus for about 3 months (to simulate a year of service = 36,000 miles) Fast charger was installed at Eastgate P&R lot (10 minutes to fully charge battery for ~23 mile trip). 8

49 Going All In With 100% Battery Electric HOVs BFT Electric Bus Ben Franklin Transit converted a diesel fuel bus to a Zero Emissions Propulsion System (ZEPS) w/ a 100-mile range through Complete Coach Works. Reduced operating costs from $1.05/mile in diesel to 7 /mile in electricity. Currently testing a 30 BYD all-electric bus. King County MetroPool Metro s 100% electric commuting program for large employers (Microsoft, Amazon) using 25 Nissan LEAFs. Saved 232 metric tons of tailpipe emissions and 10,000 gallons of fuel over gaspowered vanpools. Link Electric Trolley Buses Link Transit in Wenatchee operates a fleet of 5 electric battery trolleys manufactured by ebus. The 22 buses get recharged for 5-7 minutes at the end of each trip for 20 miles of range. Fuel savings: 2.6 /mile electric vs. 35 /mile diesel. 9

50 Washington State Master Contracts Contract Automobile Request System (CARS) # Automobiles Electric, Hybrid & Alternative Fuel # Light-duty & Medium-duty Cutaways # ADA Vans & Minivans # Heavy-duty Buses NEW Who is eligible to purchase vehicles through state contracts? Washington state agencies, cities, counties, local government Transit systems Colleges and universities Tribes Non-profits Members of Oregon Cooperative Purchasing Program (ORCPP) Note: Eligible organizations must have a Master Contract Use Agreement (MCUA)

51 State Heavy-Duty Bus Master Contract Washington State Departments of Enterprise Services (DES) and Transportation (WSDOT) partnered on an innovative procurement approach to provide transit systems with readily-available buses at competitive prices. The state contract encourages early adoption of alternative fuel and electric buses. The contract contains 7 categories of bus types, with a total of 25 bus classes and hundreds of options. Fuel types: All Electric (long-range plug-in & enroute charging) Hybrid (diesel/electric) Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Clean Diesel (including bio-diesel) Sizes: 30ft, 35ft, 40ft, 45ft, & 60ft articulated Features: both low-floor and high-floor models

52 State Heavy-Duty Bus Master Contract How much do the buses cost? Up to 800 buses are available for purchase. Base price agreements range from $380,000 to $1.2 million depending on bus size and fuel type. Which bus providers are approved? BYD Motors* Gillig GreenPower Motor* Motor Coach Industries (MCI) New Flyer of America* Nova Bus, a division of Prevost Car (US) Proterra* Schetky Northwest *Awarded buses within the electric categories

53 State Heavy-Duty Bus Master Contract Why use the state contract to purchase vehicles? Save time: Bus procurement can take 6 months to a year to complete and takes a lot of staff time and expertise. Get it done faster using the state contract. Save money: By purchasing buses in bulk, the state is able to secure competitive pricing saving thousands of dollars. Make sure it s done right: The contract meets federal & state procurement requirements. Transit agency fleet managers provided input throughout the contract development and evaluation. It s online: You can request quotes and order the buses through the online system.procurement documentation is retained online for the life of the vehicle. How much does it cost to use the state contract? All state master contracts currently assess a.74 percent contract administration fee to cover administrative costs. For the heavy-duty bus master contract, DES reduced its fees and is only charging purchasers a flat fee of $1,000 per bus.
