C-TRAN, the transit agency serving Clark County, Washington, is set to begin construction on a new hydrogen fueling station.
The hydrogen fueling station is part of C-TRAN’s broader sustainability strategy. The agency is committed to reducing its carbon footprint and has already introduced electric buses. The addition of hydrogen-powered vehicles further diversifies C-TRAN’s clean energy portfolio, aligning with state and national goals for climate action.
The new station will provide several benefits. It will supply the necessary infrastructure to support hydrogen buses, which are known for their quick refueling times and long range compared to battery electric buses. The station could also encourage further investment in hydrogen technology within the region.
As C-TRAN moves forward with this project, they contribute to the adoption of hydrogen as a viable energy source for public transit. The initiative demonstrates the potential for hydrogen to play a key role in the future of sustainable transportation, potentially inspiring similar projects across the country.
