Hybrid Buses

Hybrid Technology at RTA-SCAT

In March of 2007, RTA's South County Area Transit introduced the Central Coast's first hybrid-electric bus to riders in the Five Cities Area. This ultra-low-emission vehicle allows riders to reduce their carbon footprint locally and on the entire planet.
