Breckenridge took its maiden voyage into the future of public transportation Thursday by launching a month-long demonstration of an all-electric bus in its transit fleet. This is the first electric bus to operate a route in a Colorado mountain town for an extended period of time.
After months of negotiation, the town of Breckenridge partnered with Proterra to test the bus on the Yellow route, where it will operate as any other regular diesel bus until the demonstration ends at the end of April.
The electric bus was launched during an event at the Breckenridge Public Works facility on Airport Road.
