The Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority reported progress on its transit electrification effort at the MPO meeting on Sept. 18.

Steph Spadoni said the RTA's zero‑emission vehicle study, which outlines schedules for fleet transition and on‑road charging locations, is scheduled to finish in October. She said the RTA will accept 20 Ford E‑Transit electric vans in the coming weeks; the vehicles have been delayed by camera‑system integration but are expected to arrive at the end of the month. The agency is preparing driver training and installing chargers at its operations site.

Spadoni also noted the RTA has a tool to track greenhouse‑gas emissions over time and will publish a final transition plan when the study concludes.
