• Abstract:
  This report is an addendum to the final report to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) covering the project performance and results for the development, build, and demonstration of a fuel cell electric bus in Birmingham, Alabama. Following that demonstration, the bus was shipped to the Stark Area Regional Transit Authority (SARTA) in Canton, Ohio. SARTA staff were trained on and repaired the bus, which was then used in educational outreach to middle schoolers in Ohio. This project also included a study evaluating the performance of hydrogen fuel cell buses in comparison to conventional fuel technologies.
