Foothill Transit shares their roadmap with Metro on going green
The nation’s second largest transit agency today committed to switching all of its buses to zero emissions technology by 2030.
The agency plans to begin by electrifying the Orange Line, a bus line that runs from North Hollywood through the San Fernando Valley, before 2020. The Silver Line, which runs from downtown LA to San Pedro, comes next, in 2021.
