Costs and Emissions Appraisal Tool for Transit Buses (Technical Note)

The Costs and Emissions Appraisal Tool for Transit Buses allows users to compare the costs and emissions of two bus fleets, each containing up to three bus types. The tool supports custom data input for specific cities or countries, while providing default data for Brazil and the United States.

• The tool is designed for the preliminary analysis phase to assist transit agencies and bus operators in deciding on alternative bus types by assessing financial viability and expected emissions reductions.
• The Excel-based tool enables the comparison of two bus fleets, with each fleet consisting of up to three bus types that may vary by length, fuel type, and the technology used to meet emissions standards.
• While users can input their own local fuel and vehicle unit cost data, the tool includes default data for the United States and Brazil.
