Hawaii SB586 mandates the transition to zero emission buses for mass transit and school buses by 2045.
Hawaii SB586 aims to combat climate change by requiring the state and its counties to transition to zero emission buses for mass transit and school buses by January 1, 2045. The bill defines zero emission buses as those producing no exhaust emissions of pollutants, including battery-electric and hydrogen fuel cell-electric buses. It mandates that the procurement policy board adopt necessary rules to implement this transition. The public utilities commission is directed to encourage motor carriers to upgrade to zero emission buses.
