GGT is a partner with AC Transit in a ZEB demonstration program designed to accelerate development of zero emission fuel cell technology in public transit bus fleets. Hydrogen fuel cell buses are clean, quiet, electrically-propelled and only emit water vapor from the tail pipe. Fuel cells combine hydrogen with oxygen from the air to produce water and electricity.
STOP BY THE GOLDEN GATE EXHBIT AT THE FAIR
While at the CoolGreenFun Marin County Fair, stop by the Golden Gate booth which is located near the Marin Veterans’ Memorial Auditorium and see how we are working to reduce emissions:
-
On-site decoration of a “Be Cool, Go Green, Ride Golden Gate Transit” bus by Fair participants. After the Fair, the bus will be placed into service to remind all of us of our commitment to conservation.
-
Exhibits bio-fuel-powered equipment used at the Golden Gate Bridge.
-
Demonstrations of bio-fuel mixing process. See how we take used vegetable oil and transform it into fuel for maintenance vehicles.
GGT will continue putting more “green” ideas to work that benefit the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. We encourage everyone to join us in this effort to conserve energy, thus conserving our planet’s finite resources and staying committed to a green future.
Public transit reduces the nation’s carbon emissions by 37 million metric tons annually. Public transit helps create a healthier environment by reducing smog-producing pollutants and greenhouse gases because public transit produces nearly 50 percent less carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide per passenger mile as private vehicles. In fact, at GGT, through a combination of replacing aging buses with new efficient buses, retrofitting existing bus engines, using synthetic oil, and switching to ultra-low sulfur fuel sources, we have reduced particulate matter emissions by 92 percent!
