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

The Costs and Emissions Appraisal Tool for Transit Buses is an Excel-based tool that allows transit agencies to compare the costs and emissions of two bus fleets (up to three bus types each). It supports custom local data or default data for Brazil and the United States to calculate total costs and emissions.

• The Costs and Emissions Appraisal Tool for Transit Buses is an Excel-based application that enables users to compare the emissions reductions and costs of two different bus fleets, with each fleet consisting of up to three bus types. These bus types may vary by length, fuel type, and the technology employed to meet emissions standards.
• The tool allows for the input of vehicle unit cost and fuel data specific to a country or city; however, it provides default data for the United States and Brazil for users who do not have local data.
• The authors intend to use the current version of the tool to identify gaps in user needs for future versions and plan to expand the default cost data to include additional locations within the developing world.
