Sustainability

How can we build a more climate resilient transportation system and increase energy efficiency of fleets and facilities?

Extreme weather is now becoming frequent as a result of a warming planet.

Bus, rail, and subway operations have been impacted by extreme weather events, including flash floods and winter storms. This challenge calls for technologies that help make public transportation more responsive to extreme weather events and that reduce greenhouse emissions.
