We're supposed to be a forward-thinking region. It would be nice for us to take a chance on a small order of New Flyer's electric buses, or even buses from a company like GreenPower Bus, out of Vancouver (some of whose buses have ranges of more than 300 kilometres).
There are ways of measuring the benefit of the reduced air pollution. We should allocate some of the cost of less polluting vehicles to other departments besides GRT. The Region says that it is committed to including environmental considerations in all of its decision-making, and that would be a good way to make sure that is happening when GRT is deciding what vehicles to add to its fleet.
