Our First Electric Buses Are Here!

A new era of transit has arrived in the Roanoke Valley! On March 25 at 10:30am, Valley Metro will unveil its first electric buses. This event will mark a significant step forward in our commitment to sustainable, clean transportation. The event will include comments from local leaders, a first look at the new battery-electric bus, and even a first ride.

Driving a Greener Future

These state-of-the-art vehicles represent our dedication to reducing our environmental impact while enhancing the rider experience. The transition to electric buses brings numerous environmental and operational benefits. By reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving local air quality, these buses contribute to a healthier community. Additionally, they offer a quieter ride, lower maintenance costs, and increased fuel efficiency-ensuring a more reliable and cost-effective service for passengers.

What This Means for Our Community

These electric buses are more than just a step forward in technology; they are an investment in our community's future. Riders will soon experience a smoother, quieter ride while knowing they are contributing to a cleaner environment. Over the next few weeks, we'll be testing and integrating these buses into our system to ensure a seamless transition into regular service.

Looking Ahead

This is just the beginning! We are committed to expanding our electric fleet and continuing to invest in sustainable transit solutions. Stay tuned for updates on our website and social media as we prepare to launch these buses on the road.

Thank you for being part of this exciting journey toward a greener future!
