SamTrans in South San Francisco is making significant progress in transitioning to a zero-emission bus fleet with the development of a permanent hydrogen fueling station at its North Base facility. The SamTrans Board of Directors approved the project, valued at $17.37 million for construction and up to $2.97 million for maintenance over five years. This initiative supports the district's strategy to replace diesel vehicles with hydrogen fuel cell electric buses (FCEBs). The plan is part of SamTrans' Innovative Clean Transit Plan, aiming to eliminate diesel and gasoline buses gradually. The new fueling station will enable the agency to scale up responsibly, ensuring reliable service for riders while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. By 2027, with the station operational, SamTrans will have a long-term, high-capacity solution to efficiently fuel its growing fleet of FCEBs. This advancement reflects a positive step towards cleaner air and sustainable public transportation in the South San Francisco area.
