Abstract:

The objective of this study is to identify a strategy to minimize the carbon footprint for CTDOT-contracted bus operations in Connecticut, bus systems owned by CTDOT and branded as CTtransit, including resulting benefits and challenges. The economic value of investments necessary to achieve strategy goals in terms of initial capital costs, ongoing operating costs including life-cycle costs, and overall benefits/savings were considered and presented in an easy-to-read and comprehensible format. The carbon footprint was calculated/estimated for all CTDOT-contracted bus operations. This analysis looked at the carbon footprint associated with day-to-day operations of equipment and facilities.
