2021 Proterra ZX-5 Electric City Transit Bus "Alexandria Transit Co. - DASH"

2021 Proterra ZX-5 Electric City Transit Bus "Alexandria Transit Company - Driving Alexandria Safely Home, Alexandria, Virginia"

Since 1984, Alexandria Dash has been the transit operator in and around the City of Alexandria, VA. The System started with 30 employees and 17 buses. In the first-year annual ridership was less than 1 million passengers covering 582,000 miles, but it improved service levels significantly over Washington, DC's METROBUS. Not only is DASH working towards a 100% zero-emissions fleet using buses like the Proterra ZX-5, but in September of 2021, in addition to all day frequent service throughout the city, the new network is totally free to ride, operating without any passenger fares.
