Overview:
The N-CATT Guide to Green Energy Adoption for Transit Agencies (Green Energy Guide) is a tool for educating small-urban, rural, and tribal transit agencies on existing and emerging options for powering their transit operations with green electric power. This whitepaper focuses on green electric power as a fuel supply for battery electric vehicles (BEV). It is segmented into chapters that each focus on an important aspect of understanding and procuring green energy technologies to power transit agency operations. Collectively, the chapters provide an overview of the green energy resources and technologies available to transit agencies, considerations regarding procurement of green power, and strategies that may maximize the benefits of these green energy charging options.
