#DamienTalks SGV #8 - Roland Cordero and the Foothill Transit E-Bus Program
Welcome back to #DamienTalks!
Today, #DamienTalks with Roland Cordero with Foothill Transit.
Did you know Foothill Transit was the first transit agency in the
country to have a completely electric bus route? I didn't, it's
kind of cool.
It may have taken eight episodes, but we finally got around to
interviewing our sponsor
Foothill Transit has replaced its diesel-fuel buses with CNG
coaches, installed solar arrays on the roofs of its operations and
maintenance yards in Arcadia and Pomona. And now Foothill Transit
is committed to having a 100% electric bus fleet by 2030.
In the interview, Cordero discusses the pro's and cons of
converting from a diesel fleet to a partially electric fleet.
Spoiler: there's a lot more positives than negatives.
#DamienTalks is supported by Foothill Transit. Foothill Transit
has been a leader in sustainable transportation for years. And now
they’re committed to having a 100% electric bus fleet by 2030. To
celebrate, Foothill Transit is giving away prizes and sharing facts
about how their electric buses help clear the air. Visit Foothill Transit's e-bus
sweepstakes webpage to see how you can join in the
eco-friendly fun!
