As CARTA moves toward an all-electric fleet, there is an outstanding need for comprehensive planning that improves the overall performance of the network. These efforts include a need for research and development of plans to transition to an all-electric fleet. As such, CARTA is seeking qualified firms to lead the development of an Electric Bus Master Plan to support CARTA’s Fleet Modernization Project.

Reminder: Wear masks, wash hands, stay home if sick
As CARTA continues to closely monitor the ongoing situation related to COVID-19, the safety of our passengers, employees and community members remains our top priority.
All enhanced protocols, such as requiring a mask when riding, are intended to help keep passengers and staff safe as we move through the pandemic. With that in mind, please note:
- If you feel sick, stay home and do not ride the bus.
- Wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your face.
- Cover your mouth with tissue or cough/sneeze into your bent elbow – not into your hands.
- Maintain as much distance as possible between yourself and other passengers and bus operators.
Also, be reminded that free masks and hand sanitizer are available on all vehicles.
Thank you for your cooperation and support.
