Bus Champions Alert
Join MetroNow on Thursday, June 30 from noon-1pm ET for the fourth conversation in our 2022 Bus Champions Series, e-Bus: Toward Zero Emissions Transit.
MetroNow members, the Greater Washington Partnership and Tysons Partnership, are hosting a conversation between regional experts and practitioners leading the charge toward zero emissions transit infrastructure, energy electrification, and preparing the transit workforce. To accelerate this transition, elected leaders, businesses, and community stakeholders will need to work together to break down barriers and create a strategy to speedily deploy zero emissions infrastructure and train the workforce.
The webinar will open with a short presentation from Karina Ricks, the Federal Transit Administration’s Associate Administrator for Research, Demonstration and Innovation (TRI).
The conversation will include a panel discussion and Q&A featuring:
Circe Torruellas, Deputy Associate Director for Bus Operations, District Department of Transportation
Kate Staples, Manager, Electrification, Dominion Energy
John Schiavone, Program Director, Transportation Learning Center

The MetroNow Coalition is made up of regional leaders from the business, non-profit, and advocacy communities who believe that transit is designed to bring us together —at work, school, and play. Today, we believe our collective advocacy for better transit for the Washington DC region is more important than ever.
We launched the MetroNow Dispatch to bring residents, leaders, and transit agencies together to think about how we can make better transit today, during the pandemic, and “tomorrow,” as we look beyond recovery to how we can build a more equitable, sustainable, and accessible transportation system for our region
