Governor Hochul emphasized the importance of transportation in addressing climate change, stating, "Transportation is an important front in our battle against climate change and we must explore every avenue to reduce greenhouse emissions from this vital sector." This reflects the state's commitment to leveraging transit options to meet environmental goals.
The Zero-Emission Transit Transition Program (ZETT) aims to expand zero-emission endeavors, enabling projects like developing a transition plan for zero-emission fleets and the construction of necessary infrastructure to support these new technologies.
New York's initiative includes a significant financial commitment of $100 million, plus the previous $24 million investment in 2020, reinforcing the state’s long-term dedication to electrifying public transport systems and promoting clean energy.
Eligible entities such as the Capital District Transportation Authority and Central New York Regional Transportation Authority can access substantial financial aid under the ZETT program, emphasizing collaborative efforts towards achieving sustainability in public transportation.
