Shasta Regional Transportation Agency (SRTA) seeks proposals from qualified consultants to help prepare a Zero-Emission Fleet Transition Rollout Plan for SRTA-contracted specialized public transportation services pursuant to:

• Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Bipartisan Infrastructure Law requirements and 
• California Air Resources Board (CARB) Innovative Clean Transit (ICT) guidelines.

The Zero-Emission Fleet Transition Rollout Plan is to be written primarily for the purpose of ensuring compliance with California’s Innovative Clean Transit (ICT) regulation and to assist SRTA in having a zero-emission fleet transition plan that is compliant with requirements under the FTA 5339(b) Grants for Buses and Bus Facilities Competitive Program (49 U.S.C. § 5339(b) and 5339(c) Low or No Emission Vehicle Program (Low-No) (49 U.S.C. § 5339(c)).

• FTA Low or No Emission Vehicle Program: https://www.transit.dot.gov/lowno
• FTA Bus and Bus Facilities Competitive Program: https://www.transit.dot.gov/bus-program

The ICT Guidance for Transit Agencies requires small transit agencies submit a Zero-Emission Bus Rollout Plan (Rollout Plan) by July 1, 2023, and SRTA expects it to be completed by June 30, 2023, for submission. Work on other Zero-Emission Fleet Transition Rollout Plan deliverables is expected to be complete by June 30, 2024.
