California Mandates Zero-Emission Buses at Its Largest Airports

Transporting passengers from airport terminals to parking lots, rental car agencies and hotels is getting cleaner in California

California air quality regulators voted unanimously to require fleet operators to use 100 percent zero-emission shuttles at the state’s largest airports by 2035. The new regulation adopted by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) applies to public and private operators of the vans and buses that carry travellers between parking facilities, rental car agencies, hotels and airport terminals. The new rules establish three deadlines for fleets to transition to zero-emission fuel cell or battery electric models. Under the regulation, shuttle fleets at the state’s 13 largest airports are required to be at least 33 percent zero-emission vehicles (ZEV) by the end of 2027, 66 percent ZEVs by the end of 2031, and 100 percent ZEVs by the end of 2035.
