WMATA is also exploring how to collaborate with neighboring agencies to reduce costs and duplicative efforts. The agency says it will “aggressively pursue funding” opportunities at the local, state and federal levels to support its planned zero-emission transition. WMATA anticipates the lifecycle costs of transitioning to a fully zero-emission fleet through Fiscal Year 2055 to be $7.37 billion, which is $2.3 billion above what anticipated lifecycle costs of its internal combustion engine fleet would be through the same period.
The remaining three garages will open by 2041. By 2033, a sixth garage will open and half of WMATA’s fleet is expected to be zero emission. WMATA started construction on Northern Bus Garage in January and followed by Bladensburg Garage in early March. The Northern Bus Garage will be the first to open in 2027 with capacity to support 150 zero-emission buses. The authority plans to have five of the nine garages needed to support a zero-emission fleet in operation by 2031. The timeline to transition the 1,600-vehicle fleet to zero emissions is three years faster than the 2045 target included in the original fleet transition strategy approved by the WMATA Board in June 2021. A reward of up to $10,000 is being offered for information that leads to the arrest of the suspect.
