THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
TJPA is moving forward with its hydrogen fuel cell bus pilot, with vehicle manufacturing on schedule and delivery of the first bus projected for September 2026. BayoTech has fabricated and delivered the hydrogen fueling trailer, but permitting and site readiness issues remain, and BayoTech may no longer provide permitting support. The core technology vendor is set, yet there is room for firms to help with permitting, site civil work, safety systems, training, maintenance, and future scaling of hydrogen fueling infrastructure.
CMAQ funding and a $125,000 HVIP voucher were received to purchase an additional hydrogen bus, increasing the TJPA capital budget to $37,308,049 for FY 2026/27.
