Evergy and Wichita Transit are moving energy forward through electric transportation.
In partnership with Evergy, Wichita Transit welcomed four new Proterra battery-electric buses in 2019, giving the entire community access to a more environmentally-friendly bus ride. Soon after, seven additional ZEPS electric buses joined the Wichita fleet in 2020. Thanks to Evergy's Renewables Direct program, these vehicles are powered by 100% renewable energy from Kansas wind farms.
A SMOOTH AND QUIET RIDE.
With no gear shifts or engine vibration, your bus commute will go a lot smoother, and because electric buses have no combustion engine, you can also count on less noise pollution both inside and outside.
ZERO EMISSIONS OR FUMES.
All-electric vehicles produce zero direct emissions, which includes smog-forming pollutants and greenhouse gases. No tailpipe means no exhaust, so you and everyone in your community can breathe a little easier.
ELECTRIC TRANSPORT FOR ALL.
We believe in equal access to clean air, less noise pollution, and more energy-efficient transportation for all citizens. These new buses will run on routes throughout Wichita, so all communities can enjoy the benefits.
