Connecticut Hydrogen Transportation Plan
The Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology, Inc., through section 8 of Connecticut Public Act 09-187, will consult to the Connecticut Department of Transportation to develop a plan to implement zero-emissions buses state-wide. The plan will be completed and submitted to the joint standing committees of the General Assembly having cognizance of matters relating to energy, environment and transportation no later than December 31, 2010.
Below is a draft outline for completion of the plan. If you are interested in contributing to the plan and working with the Connecticut Hydrogen-Fuel Cell Coalition, please contact Tom Drejer at tdrejer@ccat.us.
