Summary:

The primary goal of this project is to develop a robust charging system for new buses and transit vehicles considering economic impacts. Case studies will be conducted on select NJ Transit bus routes focusing on three charging system design scenarios. The research results will help NJ Transit assess and refine its bus garages, routes, and future plans. The intended outcome of the project is to develop a sound methodology to help NJ Transit make informed asset management decisions for its bus fleets and infrastructure.
