technologies will enable the County to provide sustainable, resilient, and reliable energy supply for bus charging and site operations. This program is a public-private-partnership or P3, an agreement with AlphaStruxure, a leader in Energy as a Service (EaaS) solutions. The project will enable at least 44 buses in the Ride On Montgomery County’s transit fleet to transition from diesel to electric power. This advances the County’s goal to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2035, reducing lifetime emissions by over 155,000 tons, while delivering resilience to climate events and power outages.

This study will be guided and informed through an extensive public participation process that will be designed to maximize outreach, education and stakeholder involvement. This study will include a robust evaluation of ex- isting transit service. Additionally, the PGC Transit Transfor- mation plan will clarify the vision of transit, how DPW&T will get there and set standards for the future of transit in Prince George’s County, Maryland. • PGC Proud to Charge continues DPW&T’s commitment to transitioning the transit bus fleet to 70% zero emission vehicles by 2035.
