The Ride On bus system currently operates 14 electric vehicles. "The Zero-Emissions Bus transition plan falls in line with our ambitious climate action plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 100 percent by 2035," said County Executive Marc Elrich. "This plan will help guide us through our transit fleet transition and lays out the needed infrastructure to support it. This effort will make a substantial impact on our environment by reducing harmful greenhouse gas emissions. We are proud to be at the forefront amongst local governments when it comes to sustainable transportation." The ZEB plan is purposely flexible to accommodate for emerging technology and relies heavily on State and Federal grants that MCDOT has so far been successful in receiving.
