The push to decarbonize the transit sector has presented a range of new operational considerations and infrastructure requirements. Understanding how to identify and plan for these changes to existing practices is a key part of the development of a successful roadmap to fleet transition.
This panel will bring together a mix of agencies, suppliers, and consultants to discuss the challenges and opportunities experienced to date on a range of fleet transition programs. The panel will explore what impacts the planning and implementation of fleet transitions have had on both existing and future operations, and will discuss the actions and steps taken to avoid disruption to services.
