ATransit Agency IntroductionThe San Mateo County Transit District (District) was created byInformation the voters in November 1974. The Board of Directors convenedits first meeting in early 1975. Later that year, the District’sfirst General Manager was hired. The highest priority at thetime was to consolidate the 11 city bus systems that were inexistence prior to the formation of SamTrans. SamTrans beganservice on July 1, 1976.Today, the San Mateo County Transit District is theadministrative body for the principal public transit andtransportation programs in San Mateo County: SamTrans busservice, including Redi-Wheels paratransit service, Caltraincommuter rail through its role as both a member agency ofthe Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (Caltrain) and theadministering entity for the service, and San Mateo CountyTransportation Authority (TA). Caltrain and the TA havecontracted with the District to serve as their managing agency,under the direction of their appointed boards.SamTrans provides bus service primarily within San MateoCounty (population 766,573, 2019 ACS), with additionalconnecting service provided into adjacent San FranciscoCounty (population 881,549, 2019 ACS) to the north. SamTransis not part of a Joint Group (13 CCR § 2023.1(d)(3).SamTrans ICT Rollout Plan3
Sustainability PolicySamTrans is committed to supporting the State of California and theCalifornia Air Resources Board to lead the state by example and work toreduce the impacts of transportation on air quality and climate on theregion, state, and world. As part of SamTrans’ sustainability policy, theDistrict commits to: Streamline business practices to reduce waste and improve operationaleffectiveness Evaluate and improve the long-term resource efficiency of our facilitiesand equipment, including the life-cycle return on investment Educate and incentivize our employees to integrate sustainabilitypractices into their work and their personal lives Encourage business partners to incorporate sustainability practices intotheir own operations Measure the environmental impacts of our activities on an ongoingbasis, and set and meet targets to reduce our impacts Deploy sustainability-themed programs that encourage the use of publictransit and that support our local communitiesSamTrans ICT Rollout Plan4
Community RoleSamTrans has played a central role in San Mateo Countycommunities, ensuring equitable access to transportation,reducing reliance on privately-owned vehicles, and offeringresidents a more sustainable way to move around the county.SamTrans provides essential services, but is also an activemember of communities throughout the County, from movingOlympic athletes to and from the games, engaging the youthcommunity, and hosting the annual “Stuff a Bus” toy drive.The transition to zero-emission buses represents a promise tothe communities that SamTrans serves to protect the healthand safety of community members within the Bay Area. Thiscommitment is supported by the District’s vision to be a“Mobility leader, providing transportation choices and asustainable future that meets the needs of our diversecommunities.”SamTrans ICT Rollout Plan5

BRollout Plan ICT BackgroundThe California Air Resources Board (CARB) is the lead agencyGeneral for climate change programs and is charged with protectingthe public from harmful effects of air pollution and developingInformation programs and actions to fight climate change. In December2018, CARB adopted the Innovative Clean Transit (ICT)Regulation that requires all public transit agencies in the stateto gradually transition to 100-percent zero-emission bus fleetsby 2040.Through the deployment of zero-emission technologies, theICT regulation will provide significant benefits across the state,including:SamTrans ICT Rollout Plan Reduce NOx and GHG emissions for all Californians,especially transit-dependent and disadvantagecommunities. The majority of these benefits will be in theState’s most populated and impacted areas where transitbuses are most prevalent Increase penetration of the first wave of zero-emissionheavy-duty technologies into applications that are wellsuited to their use to further achieve emission reductionbenefits Save energy and reduce dependency on petroleum andother fossil fuels Expand zero-emission vehicle industry to bring high qualitygreen jobs to local communities and trained workforce toCalifornia Provide other societal benefits by encouraging improvedmobility and connectivity with zero-emission transportationmodes and reduced growth in light-duty vehicle milestraveled7
SamTrans ICT RolloutThis document outlines a plan to guide SamTrans’ transitionfrom diesel and gasoline-powered vehicles to zero emissionby 2038, without early retirement of diesel vehicles. The ICTRollout Plan is a coordinating document to assist the planning,design, construction, acquisition, and implementation of zeroemission technology. SamTrans adoption of zero emissiontechnology will ultimately meet and exceed the ICT regulationrequirements. The ICT Rollout Plan is approved by theSamTrans Board on December 2, 2020; a copy of the approvedresolution in located in the attachments (13 CCR§ 2023.1(d)(2)).The ICT Rollout Plan is divided into the following sections perthe ICT requirements:A Transit Agency InformationB Rollout Plan General InformationC Technology PortfolioD Current Bus Fleet Composition and Future Bus PurchasesE Facilities and Infrastructure ModificationsF Providing Service in Disadvantaged CommunitiesG Workforce TrainingH Potential Funding SourcesI Start-up and Scale-up ChallengesThe ICT Rollout Plan was created by SamTrans with assistancefrom HDR, Inc., a planning/engineering consultant.SamTrans ICT Rollout Plan8
CTechnology Technology OptionsAlthough there are currently two commercially-viable zero emissionPortfolio bus technologies to transit agencies; battery-electric buses(BEB) and hydrogen fuel cell electric buses (FCEB), BEBs are thepreferred technology to initial the fleet conversion. For SamTrans,consistency in vehicles, operation, infrastructure, training, andperformance are all important and factored into the decision forthe preferred technology. The key considerations used to identifya preferred option were adaptability and ease of implementation.FCEB technology remains a viable alternative for long-range routesand for routes of extended duration. FCEB technology is alsoconsidered for its operational flexibility during power outages orrolling black outs.SamTrans ICT Rollout Plan9
Primary TechnologyBattery electric buses are identified as the preferred technology for SamTrans’ ZEV transition.To further understand how this technology will affect current operations, a route poweranalysis was completed to determine the power usage of the fleet that accounts for weather(temperature), elevation change, and other power consumption elements. This analysis usedexisting schedules and routes to develop a realistic understanding of the power needs andpotential range for each schedule block, and which blocks may be too long for the currentbattery capacity.Some existing routes are lengthier than the service range current battery-electric buses candeliver; therefore, SamTrans is analyzing the need for remote opportunity charging or enroute charging, in addition of considering the benefits of FCEBs on these routes. This analysiswill evaluate additional infrastructure costs to support the most effective technology, en-routechargers or FCEBs.A cost-benefit analysis of the two technologies inclusive of infrastructure and fuel costs willinfluence future bus procurements toward the end of the ICT Rollout schedule. Emergingtechnologies in battery chemistry that can provide increased range through higher capacity,weight saving, and faster charging rate are anticipated and considered game changers.SamTrans ICT Rollout Plan10
DCurrent Fleet and Bus FleetSamTrans conducted a route power analysis that models theFuture Purchases energy usage on a block-by-block basis of each route. Theability for the BEB vehicles to serve each route is determined ona number of different variables, including ambient temperature,route grade changes, passenger load, traffic, and driveraggressiveness.Table 2 shows the existing SamTrans bus fleet and Table 3shows the fleet transition schedule. The projected costs by yearof the fleet transition are shown in Figure 1. All of the SamTransZEB fleet requirements will be met through the purchase of newvehicles.Table 2: Existing bus fleetFuel TypeBus l40’912013Diesel29’42013Diesel 7Diesel40’502018Battery Electric40’22020DieselArticulated 60’552020Battery Electric40’8Total Fixed Route FleetSamTrans ICT Rollout Plan-Model YearBus Qty.44031211

Paratransit FleetTable 4 shows the existing SamTrans paratransit fleet and Table 5shows the paratransit fleet transition schedule. The 22-foot cutawayvehicles exceed 14,000 GVWR, and they are identified within theparatransit sub-fleet subject to ICT regulation. SamTrans hasidentified the following considerations related to transitioning theparatransit fleet to zero-emission vehicles: The initial ZEV purchases to convert the District’s cutaways to zero emissionvehicles (ZEV) is contingent on the success of the rollout for the fixed routebuses. ICT has established a purchase requirement commencing in January2026. SamTrans will continue to monitor the industry and evaluate ZEVs forits paratransit services in compliance with ICT. The paratransit sub-fleet conversion to zero emission vehicles (ZEV) isanticipated to take place after January 1, 2026, or sooner if operatingperformances, funding, and infrastructure are aligned to operate zeroemission technologies. Gasoline-powered vehicles will remain in theparatransit sub-fleet until the regulation takes effect and ZEVs arecommercially available for the paratransit duty cycle.IRE DI-WH EELSINC SamTrans ICT Rollout Plan13
Note:The San Mateo County Transit District’s ICT Rollout Plan lists 24gasoline powered min-vans as part of the paratransit sub-fleet. Themini-vans are not part of the formally known Transit Fleet Vehicles andtherefore report their emissions through the Bureau of AutomotiveRepair (BAR). They are listed in the ICT Rollout Plan as part of theDistrict’s overall strategy to convert its fleet’s of vehicles into zeroemission vehicles.Table 4: Existing paratransit fleetModelYearFuel TypeBus LengthBus Qty.2015Gasoline22’ Cutaway, Redi-Wheels12015Gasoline22' Cutaway Redi-Wheels202017Gasoline22’ Cutaway, Redi-Wheels92017GasolineMinivan, Redi-Wheels102018Gasoline22’ Cutaway, Redi-Wheels32020GasolineGasoline22’ Cutaway, Redi-Wheels131470Minivan, Redi-Wheels2020Total Paratransit FleetTable 5: Paratransit fleet transition schedule0%2023Total PurchasedFuelBus Length% of TotalQtyConventionalTechnologyBus Length% of TotalQty.YearICTRequirementZEB0202400%22' CutawayBattery - Depot9100%22' CutawayGasoline9202500%22' CutawayBattery - Depot3100%22' CutawayGasoline3755%22' CutawayBattery - Depot645%22' CutawayGasoline1321100%22' CutawayBattery - Depot00%22' CutawayGasoline2120319100%22' CutawayBattery - Depot00%22' CutawayGasoline920323100%22' CutawayBattery - Depot00%22' CutawayGasoline313100%22' CutawayBattery - Depot00%22' CutawayGasoline1321100%22' CutawayBattery - %2030203320342035203620372038SamTrans ICT Rollout Plan14
EFacilities and SamTrans Bus FacilitiesInfrastructure upgrades are planned in phases to incrementallyInfrastructure expand ZEV infrastructure as new ZEV’s are inserted inthe fleet. Planned improvements include the repaving andModifications restriping of bus parking areas, installation of managed buscharging infrastructure, and an electrical service upgrade foreach garage. SamTrans has produced designs for restructuredparking areas on both the North Base and South Base garagesto support the addition of 37 express buses such as the overthe road coaches.The ICT Rollout Plan considers photovoltaic canopies to offsetoperational expenses while taking advantage of renewablesolar energy.The North and South Base garages are both planned to receivean update to parking arrangements. This update is intended toaccommodate the introduction of 55 articulated vehicles, alongwith an additional 37 standard buses for a planned serviceexpansion. The reorganized parking areas will have enoughparking capacity to accommodate any additional vehiclesneeded due to limited range of the ZEB vehicles on key routes.Table 6: Existing bus fleetFacilityAddressNorth BaseService Needscapacity upgrade?(yes/no)Estimatedconstructiontimeline301 N Access Rd,246Completed bySouth San Francisco, CAVehicles94080South Base501 Pico BlvdSan Carlos, CAMainfunctionType(s) ofinfrastructureBusChargersmaintenanceService Mainand storageParking rehab188VehiclesYes2029YesCompleted by203294070SamTrans ICT Rollout Plan15

IStart-up and The Road AheadSan Mateo County Transit District has learned there are still manyScale-up unknowns and unexpected challenges to overcome:of ZEBs and infrastructure adds significant capitalChallenges Deploymentand operating costs Procurement of ZEBs now require careful timing to deliver ZEBinfrastructure capital projects when ZEBs arrive on property ZEB operation is vulnerable to utility company priorities ZEB technology is evolving at a rapid pace, which complicatesO&M with compatibility of components and charginginfrastructure. IT Infrastructure cost/challenges Funding challenges due to the uncertainty of fundingavailability such as the Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck andBus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP), and the complexities offunding matches by type and percentages. Unexpected short-term and long-term impacts due to anemergency such as the COVID-19 pandemic or a naturaldisaster.Without a doubt, ZEBs are readily available; however, in order tosuccessfully transition the fleet, SamTrans will need policy makers,industry OEMs and energy providers to help address the existingchallenges and risks.It is important to note, the District’s ZEB Rollout Plan is a livingdocument meant to guide the implementation of zero-emissionbus fleets and help the District work through many of the potentialchallenges to explore solutions. The Plan provides estimatedtimelines based on best available information for bus purchases,infrastructure upgrades, workforce training, or any other timelinesin the Plan.
