Since the T’s current electrification program focuses on replacing electric buses in some of the wealthiest, least-diverse and least-polluted areas the agency serves, the money saved could then be targeted to electrifying buses in lower-income neighborhoods that lack overhead electrification networks. A TransitMatters analysis finds that if the existing electrification system were used to power additional routes-as is possible with available, off-the shelf buses-retaining the existing electrification would not only save the T millions of dollars per year, but accelerate bus electrification efforts.
