Governor Newsom’s approval of AB 1944 supports California’s continued transition to zero-emission buses. Sponsored by the California Transit Association and authored by Assemblymember Alex Lee, the new law provides temporary axle-weight flexibility for zero-emission transit buses, helping agencies continue purchasing buses that support California’s climate and clean transportation goals.
AB 1944 gives transit agencies the flexibility they need to expand zero-emission fleets while continuing to provide reliable service to their communities.
