AC Transit has been a leader in advancing zero emission technology since the turn of the new millennium. In the more than 20 years that have followed, we have successfully designed and implemented one of the nation’s most comprehensive zero emissions bus (ZEB) programs. We started with hydrogen fuel cell bus technology and have since expanded to include battery electric buses. Much of our success resulted from strategic partnerships with organizations like the Center for Transportation and the Environment (CTE).
Since our initial deployment of ZEBs, CTE has been a valued partner throughout this incredible journey. Together we have collaborated to advance ZEB technology by working with bus and infrastructure manufacturers, government, and other stakeholders. From technical studies, bus and infrastructure design, project management, to operations monitoring and workforce development, CTE has global experience and advocacy know how to support the transportation industry’s transition to clean zero emission technology.

Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Energy Resources Conservation & Development, Environment
Mission: The Center for Transportation and the Environment works to improve the health of our climate and communities by bringing people together to develop and commercialize clean, efficient, and sustainable transportation technologies.
Results: CTE is experienced in developing, implementing, and administering advanced transportation technology projects, with a focus on zero-emission transit buses. CTE has managed or participated in more than 30 transition planning projects across the country and has assisted more than 70 transit agencies that have either deployed, or will soon deploy, more than 350 zero-emission buses. Based on this extensive experience, CTE developed a Zero-Emission Bus Smart Deployment Methodology and a Zero-Emission Bus Transition Planning Methodology to support successful zero-emission bus deployments and fleet transitions. To our knowledge, there is no other organization in the country has the level of experience CTE possesses in supporting transit agencies in efforts to deploy zero-emission buses.
