AB 1944: Zero-emission transit buses: axle weight.

The bill aims to amend the vehicle code to increase the weight limit for zero-emission transit buses. Currently, the maximum weight limit for transit buses is 20,500 pounds, but this limit is higher for buses procured through a specific solicitation process, with varying limits between 2016 and 2022. The bill proposes to raise the weight limit for zero-emission transit buses to 25,000 pounds until January 1, 2032, for buses procured through the same solicitation process. This change is intended to support the expansion of zero-emission transit bus fleets in California.
