SunLine Transit Agency

Established in 1977 and based in Thousand Palms, CA, SunLine Transit Agency has emerged as one of the nation's leaders in the use of clean fuel for public transit. From the year 2000 to the present, SunLine has demonstrated three versions of heavy-duty hydrogen hybrid fuel cell buses with great success. In April 2000, SunLine launched its hydrogen generation facility, a first for a public transit agency. The facility has produced hydrogen by reforming natural gas and converting solar and wind energy through electrolysis. SunLine Transit Agency delivers more than 28 million passenger miles per year, with 647 bus stops throughout a service area of 1,120 square ( www.sunline.org )
