Meeting_Body OPERATIONS, SAFETY, AND CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE COMMITTEE SEPTEMBER 19, 2024 Subject SUBJECT: ZERO EMISSION BUS (ZEB) PROGRAM UPDATE Action ACTION: RECEIVE AND FILE Heading RECOMMENDATION Title RECEIVE AND FILE status report on the ZEB Program in response to Motion 31.1. Issue ISSUE At its April 2024 meeting, the Board approved Motion 31.1 (Attachment A) by Directors Yaroslavsky, Bass, Krekorian, Dupont-Walker, and Solis, which reaffirmed its commitment to transitioning Metro's bus fleet to zero-emission by 2030. The Motion directed staff to report back to the Board at its September 2024 meeting with a more detailed plan to deliver a 100% zero-emission bus fleet.

This was contingent on cost and performance equivalence with Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses and continued advancements in charging infrastructure. In 2018, the California Air Resources Board (CARB)'s Innovative Clean Transit (ICT) regulation mandated that all transit agencies in the state operate zero-emission fleets by 2040. In addition, ICT ZEB purchase requirements for large transit agencies require 25% of bus purchases to be zero emissions by 2023, 50% by 2026, and 100% by 2029. Metro has met all state-mandated program requirements a decade earlier than the ICT mandate of 2029. In September 2019, Metro awarded its final option for CNG buses and committed to having 100% zero emissions in all future procurements. Furthermore, since October 2020, Metro ha...
