New hydrogen, electric buses get trial run in Snohomish County [View all]
EVERETT — The future of public transit in Snohomish County doesn’t smell like diesel.
It doesn’t smell like anything, really, unless you count fresh air. Starting this summer, Community Transit will test two options for zero-emission buses. The transit agency recently bought two 40-foot buses, each sporting splashy new colors: one electric for $1.1 million, and one powered by hydrogen for $1.3 million.
The hydrogen-powered bus is the Puget Sound region’s first. Both buses are part of the agency’s new Zero Emission Fleet Transition project.
Community Transit’s budget includes $65.6 million for 19 hydrogen and 40 electric buses by 2027. The projected cost for the buses and infrastructure is $158 million by 2029, with a full switch to zero-emission vehicles estimated at $1.4 billion by 2050.
