A call for your support on $150 million dollar TEA bill initiative

Overview: Technology-Neutral Program Supports and Builds on Success of Existing FTA Fuel Cell Bus Program

The Zero Emission Bus (ZEB) program builds on the success of the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) National Fuel Cell Bus Program (NFCBP) and will develop and deploy the next generation of clean, low carbon buses produced in the United States. The proposed $150 million ZEB program  will continue efforts to commercialize zero-emission fuel cell buses while responding to the FTA Electric Drive Strategic Plan and supporting other  zero emission and low carbon bus technologies. In short, the ZEB would be a straight forward expansion and augmentation of the NFCBP. The program would be investing in the development and deployment of technologies and products that would create jobs and grow clean energy companies in the United States.
