Specifications include, but are not limited to: The transportation sector is the largest greenhouse-gas-emitting sector. Transitioning to cleaner fuel sources can help reduce emissions and can be a key component of a region’s Climate Action Plan. In addition, alternative fuels that reduce or eliminate harmful emissions have health benefits for these reasons IndyGo is committed to being a positive contributor towards a cleaner and more efficient fleet which is central to achieving sustainability goals. IndyGo has made substantial improvement in adopting cleaner vehicles, with hybrid-electric buses representing more than 21 percent of the fleet. Transit agencies are now targeting low and no emission buses as the next phase in this progression. Market forces will help to decrease the costs of these technologies and enhance their effectiveness. The goal of this RFI is to obtain information from bus manufacturers for a 60’ bus solution that meets IndyGo’s operational requirements and required delivery schedule. Responses should also include fleet technology advancements which will facilitate IndyGo service and emission mitigation goals.
