C-TRAN to start building hydrogen fueling station

Portland, ORLocal News

C-TRAN, the public transit agency serving Clark County, is taking a significant step towards sustainability by announcing plans to build a hydrogen fueling facility. This facility will be instrumental in supporting a fleet of hydrogen fuel cell electric buses, which are part of the agency's broader zero-emissions initiative. Scheduled to open in 2026, the facility reflects a growing trend in public transportation to adopt cleaner energy sources and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. The move is not only vital for improving local air quality but also aligns with state and federal objectives to cut greenhouse gas emissions significantly. As urban areas face increasing pressure to combat climate change, C-TRAN's project could serve as a model for other transit agencies.

The agency's commitment to sustainability is further underscored by its strategic planning and investment in innovative technologies. This project is expected to enhance the overall efficiency of public transit while promoting environmental stewardship in the community. As the construction of the facility progresses, it will be closely watched as a key development in the region's public transportation landscape.
