60 New Electric Buses to Operate in Queens, Staten Island, & Brooklyn

Governor Kathy Hochul yesterday introduced 60 new electric buses that will operate in routes in Queens, Staten Island and Brooklyn. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority and the New York Power Authority are building critical infrastructure to power a zero-emissions bus fleet, including installing 17 new bus charge points at Grand Avenue Bus Depot in Queens.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is working closely with the New York Power Authority to build the critical infrastructure required to power a zero-emissions bus fleet. The Power Authority recently completed the installation of 17 fast charging systems points – known as autonomous pantograph dispensers because they “dispense” energy through roof mounted arms that automatically connect with the buses.

“The New York Power Authority and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority are making significant progress in building out infrastructure to support the electrification of the nation’s largest bus fleet,”“An influx of 60 new buses and a rapidly increasing number of chargers will set New York City on a firm path to a clean transportation system that will have zero-emission buses traveling through every New York City borough by 2026.

In a historic move, the MTA is collaborating closely with Con Edison to source new power for bus charging. Work to transform bus depots to support electric buses includes building lanes inside depots that are specific for electric buses and restructuring areas to accommodate overhead pantograph dispensers which charge buses. These high-tech devices energize the buses efficiently, ensuring they are always ready for service.

“This $70 million federal investment, $20 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, for 60 clean, electric MTA busses will reduce the dirty diesel particulate pollution that contributes to so much asthma in our neighborhoods,”. “It will supercharge the MTA’s and Governor Hochul’s drive to electrify bus transit and create an emissions-free future.
