MARYLAND — To halt climate change, the MTA is doing its part by deploying seven new zero-emissions buses onto the streets of central Maryland.
Governor Wes Moore, Secretary Paul Wiedefeld, and the MTA celebrated the green move earlier today at the Kirk Avenue Bus Division building.
"Zero emission buses mean higher air quality for our region, and they operate quieter than conventional buses, which reduces noise pollution," said Holly Arnold, with the MTA.
Transportation is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States.
These seven buses are just a first step into better air where we live. The plan is to make the switch to all buses by 2032.
