Transit Oriented Development

Public transportation is often a city’s best strategy to curb congestion and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But rapidly expanding populations and insufficient financing resources pose significant challenges.

    • [VIDEO] Cities are Taking on Electric Buses: How the FSCI Helps Accelerate the Transition

    Each day, a quarter million people around the world rely on diesel-fueled buses to reach their destinations. For decades, these buses have been the backbone of public transit fleets in cities. But they come at a high price for our planet. Diesel-fueled buses emit harmful exhaust that deteriorates air quality, are a significant source of noise pollution, and generate heat-trapping greenhouse gases. Cities are turning to electric buses to decrease environmental impact while providing better service and reducing costs in the long term.
