Comprehensive Review of California's Innovative Clean Transit Regulation: Phase I Summary Report

Research output: NRELTechnical Report

Abstract

This report - prepared by NREL and UC Berkeley for the California Air Resources Board (CARB) -provides a comprehensive review conducted for implementation of the Innovative Clean Transit (ICT) regulation and deployment of zero-emission transit buses in California. The ICT regulation requires California transit agencies to begin transitioning to zero-emission vehicle technologies, defining an increasing percentage of new bus purchases that must be zero-emission buses (ZEBs) each year. The purchase requirements begin in 2023, increasing to a 100% ZEB purchase requirement beginning in 2029. This schedule is designed to result in 100% ZEB fleets statewide by 2040. The focus of the Phase I study was on implementation progress, status of standard-size transit buses, and the California transit industry's readiness to meet the 2023 ICT purchase requirements.
