NYPA's clean transportation initiatives will decrease emissions from school buses in New York City.

Here at the New York Power Authority, we’ve put into service more than 1000  electric-drive vehicles (EDVs) of various sizes and purposes all around the state for use by our customers as well as at our own facilities. We were the first utility in the Northeast to pass the million-mile mark for combined electric vehicle mileage in 2000, and our Clean Transportation programs and services have continued gaining ground. As of January  2009, the electric-drive vehicles we have put into service have logged over 10 million miles.

Our EDV projects include hybrid-electric vehicles such as heavy-duty trucks, transits buses, and school buses, the next generation of electric-drive vehicles - the plug-in hybrid, as well as a range of electric vehicles, such as the two-ton delivery trucks, low-speed vehicles and off-road equipment,  In addition to our vehicle fleet, we have worked on a number of other initiatives to promote clean transportation technologies, including a program to install pollution control devices on New York City school buses.  Here’s a look at what we’re doing:
