LA Metro Transitions to Zero Emission Buses

The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority began working on its goal to transition its bus fleet to zero emission buses (ZEB). 

AECOM, an infrastructure consulting firm, was awarded a contract to provide program management, design, and engineering services for the project, which received financial support from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

The LA County Metro is one of the largest electric bus programs in the U.S.

“As a global leader in transportation decarbonization, we are proud to contribute to Metro’s ambitious vision for a sustainable and efficient transit system,” said Mark Southwell, chief executive of AECOM’s global Transportation business, according to an announcement. “Reflecting our Sustainable Legacies strategy and drawing on our deep technical expertise, we are well positioned to deliver innovative solutions for these complex and transformative transportation challenges.”

In this role, AECOM will provide ZEB and charging infrastructure conceptual design, specification, and procurement support. In addition, the firm will advise on implementation strategies that ensure a seamless and successful transition to zero-emission operations.
