Key Project Facts
- Heliox, ABB, WAVE, and BYD chargers were used.
- The 87-vehicle fleet consists of BYD electric buses, Motor Coach Industries (MCI) coaches, and GreenPower Microtransit vans.

- AVTA is able to completely cover the cost of electric fueling and actually generates revenue of $0.21 per mile from LCFS credits from the state of California.
- The Mobility House will also be able to integrate AVTA’s on-site solar into its smart charging system, ultimately reducing carbon emissions and electricity costs even more.
- The agency recently surpassed more than 11.5 million miles of service – saving 2,875,000 gallons of diesel fuel and reducing 68.3 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions.
