TriMet Hydrogen Initiative

The TriMet Hydrogen Initiative is a program developed by TriMet, the public transportation agency serving the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area, aimed at exploring and implementing hydrogen fuel cell technology for transit vehicles. The initiative focuses on advancing sustainable transportation solutions by integrating hydrogen buses into its fleet, which are seen as a cleaner alternative to traditional diesel buses. This initiative aligns with broader goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving air quality, and promoting renewable energy sources within public transit systems. Through research, development, and demonstration of hydrogen fuel cell technology, TriMet seeks to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of public transportation.
