Charging toward a zero-emission transit fleet
UW researchers explore using public-private partnerships to convert bus bases for electric-powered vehicle charging
Conversion of bus base facilities, the heart of transit operations, for electric vehicle charging is a large-scale project with many players and complex needs. One option for transit agencies working to shift to a zero-emission fleet is a public-private partnership model (P3), which defers upfront capital construction costs and has the potential to help agencies meet long-term sustainability and resiliency goals.
Keeping it on the Tracks
What can we learn from high-speed rail?
A team of UW researchers examined successful high-speed rail projects in Europe and Asia with the goal of gleaning insights to inform planning efforts to bring high-speed rail to the Cascadia region. The report involved more than 50 hours of interviews with industry experts and a review of the relevant literature.
