we have been working on the zero mission bus issue across the state, at other transit agencies at the resources board, at the air districts at the public utilities commission. there is a lot of activity going on. at the point l.a. metro, san trans, foothill transit, antelope valley have all committed to go to 100% zero emission buses. they have started to replace them. really the biggest concern is there's so much activity going on that it is in danger of falling behind. the public utilities commission is in the process of approving a utility incentive to support charging infrastructure but those incentives are only going to be open to those transit agencies are prepared and demonstrates they are procuring zero emission buses. at the sate level there's incentive programs that we are missing out on because there's no plan to move forward with zero emission buses. we are here to sort of try to elevate this and put this back on the agenda, to regroup on the zero emission vision that the board adopted way back when and offer our support to sort of bring you up to speed as much as we can on all the activi
