April 25 at 5:21 PMThe prospect of spending $0 on gas really makes fully electric cars an exciting option. The US gov has so many resources for assessing electric car options.

April 25 at 12:51 PMThe most interesting fact I learned when researching transportation solutions was that the first electric vehicle prototype was built in 1828! Great to see that WSP is on the forefront of many of these transportation innovations, from bus rapid transit and high-speed rail to research on ridesharing and freight.
