TOUR information:
OCTA Bus Bases – Hydrogen Fueling Station and Battery Electric Buses
Take a trip on an OCTA zero-emission fuel-cell electric bus and tour OCTA’s Hydrogen Fueling Facility and Battery-Electric Bus Charging Depot. As part of the plan to convert the OC Bus fleet to 100 percent zero-emission technology by 2040, OCTA is piloting both battery-electric buses and hydrogen fuel-cell electric buses. The tour consists of visiting two OCTA bus bases deploying different zero-emission technologies. First, participants will be transported to OCTA’s Santa Ana bus base which houses the Hydrogen Fueling Facility. Attendees will receive a guided walk-through of OCTA’s bus operations building, maintenance shops, and hydrogen fueling station. Next, participants will be transported to OCTA’s Garden Grove bus base and walk-through the Central Communications Center, electric operator relief vehicles, and electric-bus charging station depot. The tour offers a firsthand look into the advanced technologies employed to support the zero-emission bus fleet. The tour requires moderate walking. Please wear comfortable and closed toe shoes.
