NYPA is your partner to help transition to electric vehicles. We evaluate, plan, and lead the implementation of EV infrastructure.
NYPA guides state agencies, local governments, and K-12 school districts through the complex process of electrifying your fleet. We work with you to develop your fleet infrastructure—starting with site assessment, cost-benefit analysis, route planning, contracting and procurement – all the way to the management of electrical systems and the implementation of charging stations.
We can help you look at electric vehicles as part of your overall clean energy strategy plan, and as a way to meet your sustainability goals.
We specialize in developing charging infrastructure for DC fast charging (DCFC) and large-scale Level 2 (L2) projects supporting an economically affordable transition to electric vehicles.
NYPA can work with school districts to guide you through the complex process of electrifying your school bus fleet.

Rochester Regional Transit Service
With the NYPA team behind them, Rochester has taken its first step towards a zero-emission bus fleet
When Rochester Regional Transit Service (RTS) committed to electric buses, they turned to NYPA to support the engineering and construction services associated with charging their fleet. RTS replaced 10-diesel powered buses with zero-emission electric buses, and NYPA’s eMobility team helped RTS design and install Direct Current (DC) charging stations to support the adoption of these EVs.
This is the first part of a multi-phase plan, and RTS has committed to a goal of being 100 percent zero-emission by 2035.
The Result: RTS reduced greenhouse emissions - with energy savings of almost $200,000 per bus over its 12-year service life.
