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.
“LoNo” FUNDING OPP
• $22.5M; proposals due Nov 23
• Production vehicles only
• Non-attainment and maintenance areas,
populated urban areas
• Federal Register details:

CONVERTING TO AN
ALL-ELECTRIC
TRANSIT FLEET
Len Engel,
Executive Director
Antelope Valley Transit Authority
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. 2016 construction of Phase
1 of depot charging
infrastructure project.
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
13 – 60’ Battery Electric Articulated Buses
16 – 45’ Battery Electric Commuter Coaches
11 – Primary 200+kw inductive chargers
34 – Secondary “receivers” (on the bus)
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):
16 – 45’ over-the-road battery electric commuter coaches.
13 – 60’ battery electric articulated buses for our future Bus
Rapid Transit project.
40 – 40’ battery electric transit buses.
POSSIBLE OPTIONS:
POSSIBLE OPTIONS II:
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.

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.
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

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.

to add another 30 miles of track. carry approximately 2 million
passengers every year.
Trolley-Bus System
Hilly Seattle is home to the 2nd
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.

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).

King County MetroPool
Link Electric Trolley Buses
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.
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 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.

State Heavy-Duty Bus Master Contract 09214
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

BYD Motors*
Gillig
GreenPower Motor*
Motor Coach Industries (MCI)
New Flyer of America*
Nova Bus, a division of Prevost Car (US)

State Heavy-Duty Bus Master Contract 09214
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.
