Greater Bridgeport Transit: Virtual Site Visit
About
Bridgeport Transit District has acquired 12 Proterra 40′ E2 Max battery electric buses. The project will be the next step in CTDOT’s zero-emission bus deployment with the goal to minimize the carbon emissions of Connecticut’s bus fleets. The project was made possible by the funding of the Low-No Grant program through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA).
Originally, the Proterra Transit Buses were due to arrive in March but were delayed due to COVID – 19. However, the buses have now arrived! We have been staying in touch with the site visit partners and working on creating a virtual site visit to be held sometime this summer.
