Sign Up for FTA’s Sustainable Transit for a Healthy Planet Climate Challenge

Published on: February 5, 2024

There is still time for transit agencies to sign up and submit plans for FTA’s Sustainable Transit for a Healthy Planet Climate Challenge. FTA has extended the deadline to March 15, 2024, for transit agencies participating in the Challenge to submit their sustainability, climate action, electrification or zero-emission transition plans. If submitted by March 15, 2024, plans — new, existing or updated — are eligible for recognition during FTA’s Earth Day celebratory event scheduled for April 2024.

Almost 230 transit agencies have signed up, with many of those submitting plans outlining measures to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Plans cover such strategies as converting fleets to electric buses, making facilities more energy efficient, and generating power through renewable energy sources. Challenge participants can receive technical assistance from FTA in developing their plans and strategies to further reduce GHG emissions.
