The Manawatu Tram Trust has called for a Green Transport Pilot in Manawatu; lessons learned through the Auckland University's participation in the Chattanooga programme will be invaluable.
Chattanooga's CARTA has been operating a fleet of electric buses for free transportation in the city. Now they take an integrated approach to EV recharging as this news source from Chattanooga reports:
"Chattanooga is a key focus of "a very fast track" effort to set up a system in Tennessee to make it more feasible to operate electric vehicles, CARTA Executive Director Tom Dugan said.
I don't think Chattanoogans understand how huge an effect this is going to have," he told the CARTA board.
Mr. Dugan said steps are rapidly being taken to set up electric vehicle charging sites at locations in Chattanooga, Knoxville and Nashville.
He noted that Tennessee was the only state in the East selected for the ETEC demonstration project......"
Chattanooga is moving forward towards sustainable transport funded partly by President Obama's $2.4 billion fund announced last year.
