DASHBus has started construction on the on-route electric bus chargers project in the city of Alexandria, Va., Northern Virginia and the Washington, D.C., metropolitan region. The project marks another major milestone in DASH’s transition to a 100% zero-emission fleet and reinforces the city of Alexandria’s commitment to expanding sustainable, equitable, and reliable public transportation.
“This project reflects years of planning and collaboration to support our transition to an all-electric fleet,” said DASH General Manager and CEO Josh Baker. “As the first on-route electric bus chargers in Northern Virginia and the [Washington] D.C. region, this is a monumental step toward a cleaner, quieter and more sustainable transit system."
