Model the analytical components of a zero-emission transition for transit bus fleets with Foursquare ITP’s Battery Electric Bus Estimator, Transform.

Why Transform?

With just a few inputs, Transform can estimate future fleet needs, changes in emissions and energy use, and associated changes in operational characteristics to support your green transition.

If you are looking to transition your fleet to
zero-emission vehicles, Transform is for you.

Inputs and Features

Transform only needs a GTFS feed with blockIDs to get started. It comes preset with vehicle model information from popular manufacturers. Users can specify their current and future energy mix or use the provided state average. Unlike other zero-emission vehicle tools, Transform will reblock your services to achieve optimal efficiency. Users can use preloaded state energy and emissions information or provide their own.
