Charlotte Area Transit System Fleet Electrification and Workforce Development

The Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) is currently transitioning its bus fleet to zero-emissions technology, replacing its diesel buses while integrating new software intended to assist in managing the CATS fleet between its operations and maintenance facilities.

STV partnered with CATS to help the agency secure a $30 million Federal Transit Administration grant from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that will allow the agency to replace 31 diesel buses with low- or no-emission buses, integrate associated battery electric bus infrastructure and train its staff on how to maintain and operate the agency’s growing electric fleet.

In addition to providing grant support, STV’s team is also supporting the planning of CATS larger zero-emission transformation.
