The Costs and Benefits Appraisal Tool for Transit Buses

The Costs and Benefits Appraisal Tool for Transit Buses is an updated webtool that enables bus operators and city officials to compare the costs, emissions, and social benefits of various bus fuel types. It improves upon its predecessor by incorporating expanded default data on electric bus costs and operational information across more bus types and geographic areas, while adding social cost and benefit calculations and simplified cost functions.

• The Tool is designed to support cost-efficient decision-making for clean bus upgrades, enable transit agencies to validate operator data, and inform city officials about the social benefits of low-carbon transit fleets.
