Скачать или смотреть Decarbonizing Saskatoon: A Feasibility Study for Zero-Emission Transit.

This recorded webinar presented the Saskatoon Transit Full-Fleet Zero-Emission Bus Implementation Plan, following its presentation to Saskatoon City Council in May 2025.

Representatives from Saskatoon Transit and the Canadian Urban Transit Research and Innovation Consortium (CUTRIC) detail the modelling approach, key findings, and the implications for long-term fleet planning, infrastructure investment, and climate commitments.

The session provides a comprehensive walkthrough of the report’s findings across political, technical, social, and environmental dimensions. It also outlines the three proposed fleet transition scenarios:
• A full Battery Electric Bus (BEB) solution
• A full Fuel Cell Electric Bus (FCEB) solution
• A mixed green fleet

These scenarios offer important insights into how Saskatoon Transit can shape future services, operational decisions, and technology investments on its pathway to zero-emission mobility.

The recording also includes the dedicated Q&A session, addressing questions about the modelling, feasibility, and the next steps for implementation.

Key Topics Covered:

• Saskatoon’s climate commitments and GHG reduction targets
• Political, technical, social, and environmental factors shaping the plan
• Modelling and comparison of BEB and FCEB fleet options
• Charging, refuelling, and facility infrastructure planning
• Route prioritization using community vulnerability indicators
• Implications for procurement, policy, and long-term investment
• Overview of the three fleet transition scenarios
• Insights from CUTRIC’s national ZEB planning expertise
