To support <br />Via and the City ’s commitment to converting to an all-electric fleet, MGL is modeling the <br />charging process, quantifying electrical demands, assessing the impact on the electrical <br />network, optimizing the size of charging infrastructure, and coordinating with Xcel Energy, <br />the utility, on infrastructure upgrades and interconnection requirements. Energy modeling <br />includes recommendations for installing solar, battery energy storage systems, and other <br />sources of on-site generation to reduce operating costs, increase renewable-based <br />generation and build resiliency for the service and the City. <br />Battery Electric Bus Familiarization <br />Course <br />National Joint Bus Maintenance Apprenticeship Committee, June 2020, Mark Fisher, Director of National Sales, New Flyer, <br />(256) 473-3246, Mark_Fisher@newflyer.com, 2022,Value of Services: Part of larger $1,5M FTA Grant for Technical Services <br />To implement successful bus maintenance apprenticeships, transit agencies <br />needed curriculum which did not yet exist to prepare both new apprentices as well <br />as incumbent maintenance personnel to work confidently and safely on BEBs. ITLC <br />developed a battery-electric bus (BEB) familiarization course initially delivered as a <br />three-part webinar. The course is designed for bus technicians, instructors and <br />others to gain a better understanding of BEBs. ITLC collaborated with major BEB <br />manufacturers and industry stakeholders on the content for the course and each <br />session featured presentations from the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). <br />Sessions included:Session 1: BEB Overview;Session 2; and Session 3: Battery <br />Charging Approaches. The series was recorded and is available for viewing along <br />with the presentation slides, presenter notes, and assessments on ITLC’s <br />TransitTraining.net website. <br />4.B.
