Bailey Sun, 24 Oct 2010 23:23:43 +0000 http://blog.epa.gov/blog/?p=4826#comment-36197 Niffty Fifty is one of the great programs we have in the high schools today. And students today are going to be the innovators of tomorrow. Transportation will be a key issue. How to make public transportation more accessible, more efficient, and more environmentally friendly? The next generation of fixed route transit bus could be low floor built with a suspension system that allows the floor to ajust to sidewalk hight letting seniors and disabled persons walk on or roll on with their wheelchairs without having to climb steps or wait for a wheelchair lift to be deployed. The fare box would be modified so a fare would be paid by swiping or scanning a credit card, bank debit card, or transit district refillable smart card doing away with the need for cash and exact fare requirements that can be problems for disabled persons and seniors. The bus of the future would operate on all electric power, hydrogen power, or be an electric/hydrogen hybird. Solar power could be used to recharge the electric batteries on the bus and to manufacture hydrogen. A bus powered as an electric/hydrogen hybird would have the electric batteries recharged as needed in normal operations by the hydrogen cell, reducing the need to be taken out of service and go back to base to recharge the batteries. Someone has to put these ideas into a demonstration project, and then, someone has to move them from demonstration project into mainstream bus operations in our transit systems. Our transit systems are critical for the Clean Air Act to work, for California’s Global Warming Act to work, for the California Integrated Regional Land Use Act to work, and for transit dependent people in the disability and senior communities. Best wishes, Michael E. Bailey.

For these our students in my country just touch its sense and its aromas. I hope they do not plagiators, because we are only user not producer. Congratulations USA Science and Engineering Festival….!!!!
