§ 2023.1. Zero-Emission Bus Requirements.
(3) The zero-emission bus purchase requirements set forth in section 2023.1(a) apply only to the total number of new bus purchases in a calendar year. The following are not considered to be new bus purchases for the purposes of calculating the minimum number of zero-emission buses required in a given calendar year:
(4) The required minimum number of zero-emission buses in section 2023.1(a) can be achieved with any combination of new zero-emission bus purchases and zero-emission buses already present in the fleet, less any available zero-emission bus bonus or zero-emission mobility credits, as provided in sections 2023.3 and 2023.5. The number of zero-emission buses in the fleet include all of the following zero-emission buses regardless of how and when they are acquired:
(C) Any zero-emission bus that is converted from a conventional internal combustion engine bus and is an active bus. A zero-emission bus identified in section 2023.1(a)(4)(A) through (C) may only be used once in accounting for the required minimum number of zero-emission buses in section 2023.1(a)(1).
(1) The zero-emission bus purchase requirements for calendar year ending December 31, 2023, are discharged if California transit agencies collectively have at least eight hundred and fifty (850) zero-emission buses purchased or in active bus fleets by December 31, 2020, based on the reporting data for the end of calendar year 2020.
(2) If the 2023 zero-emission bus purchase requirement is discharged as a result of the implementation of section 2023.1(b)(1), then the zero-emission bus purchase requirements for calendar year ending December 31, 2024, are discharged if California transit agencies collectively have at least one-thousand two hundred fifty (1,250) zero-emission buses purchased or in active bus fleet by December 31, 2021, based on the reporting data for the end of calendar year 2021.
(c) Zero-Emission Cutaway, Over-The-Road, Double-Decker, and Articulated Bus Purchase Requirements. Purchases of cutaway, over-the-road, double-decker, or articulated buses are subject to the zero-emission bus purchase requirements as specified in section 2023.1(a) on or after January 1, 2026, if the cutaway, over-the-road, double-decker, or articulated bus type has a model that has passed the bus testing procedure and obtained a Bus Testing Report as described in section 2023(b)(8) for a given weight class.
(C) A schedule for construction of facilities and infrastructure modifications or upgrades, including charging, fueling, and maintenance facilities, to deploy and maintain zero-emission buses. This schedule must specify the general location of each facility, type of infrastructure, service capacity of infrastructure, and a timeline for construction;
(3) Transit agencies that are collectively complying with the requirements of Joint Zero-Emission Bus Groups as set forth in section 2023.2 may submit one joint Rollout Plan in lieu of an individual transit agency Rollout Plan along with governing body approval from each participating transit agency. The joint Rollout Plan must be submitted to the Executive Officer based on the submittal date of the largest transit agency in the Joint Group, as set forth in section 2023.1(d)(2).
