Environment and professional services consultancy WSP has entered into a contract with the Regional Transportation District of Denver to evaluate the feasibility of transitioning the agency’s facilities and fixed-route fleet to low/no-emission operations. The holistic plan, which is expected to be finalized in late 2024, will outline recommendations for facilities, fixed-route services by fleet type, a replacement schedule and overall cost projections and proposed timelines.
“RTD remains focused on transitioning to a sustainable energy future,” said Debra A. Johnson, RTD general manager and CEO. “The first step in that transition is to understand and consider all aspects of RTD’s system, including its facilities, infrastructure and transit service delivery model. This plan will guide RTD’s future decisions as the agency transitions to low/no emissions.”
