CTA could purchase its last diesel bus in the next four years as it works to convert to entirely electric buses by 2040, according to a new agency report.
Meeting that goal will come with a hefty price tag, and will take significant work on top of buying new buses, the report found. The work includes upgrades to existing buildings and installing electric chargers.
The findings are part of a study commissioned by CTA that lays the groundwork for a transition to all electric buses. CTA has previously pledged to have an all-electric bus fleet by 2040, and the report outlines what it will take to get there.
