SRTA seeks proposals from qualified manufacturers that will enter into a partnership with SRTA to assist the agency in developing a prototype hydrogen (H2) fuel-cell motorcoach that can meet the range and performance requirements for the Salmon Runner service.  The selected manufacturer is expected to provide a design and engineering cost estimate, commercial build cost estimate, and specifications of the vehicle.   

If a qualified manufacturer is identified, SRTA plans to apply for Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP) funding for the design, engineering, and building of prototype fuel-cell motorcoach(es).  In addition, the TIRCP application will also include related H2 fueling infrastructure that SRTA will develop independent of this procurement.
