Zero Emission Bus Committee

CUTRIC’s Zero Emission Bus (ZEB) Committee is a national forum for CUTRIC’s members to share up-to-date information and data related to ZEB procurements, deployments, predictive and empirical data and funding and financing options. It will ensure that Canadian transit agencies have access to the highest-quality transit-led ZEB data and ZEB procurement and deployment knowledge across Canada and the United States.

• Informing stakeholders on relevant government funding and financing programs
• Identifying issues within current funding and financing programs
• Achieving 5,000 zero-emissions buses by 2024 as per the federal government’s goal
