Lake Tahoe Community College Mobility Hub

The Mobility Hub on the campus of Lake Tahoe Community College (LTCC) is partnership between the college and the Tahoe Transportation District (TTD). It has been in operation for more than a year, but next year is scheduled to become the charging station for TTD’s three new 35-foot Proterra electric buses and four small 16-passenger electric shuttles. TTD secured grants to construct the mobility hub, with contributions from LTCC, and grants for the purchase of the electric transit vehicles.
