1. All communications between Protera and the City (from May 01, 2017 - May 01, 2019 [or date the query is performed])
2. The total cost of permanent charging stations.
3. The grant process for Protera electric buses - specifically grant funding for permanent charging stations.
4. Routes tested with electric buses and how long they run on average.

Thank you again, due to the size of the file you sent over last week we’re having trouble downloading it and adding it to the site. Therefore we will ask that the requester please refer to the Google Drive link you sent over. We will wait a few weeks to follow up on this request in regard to the portion that legal is reviewing.
Thank you!

The records responsive to this request are here. Please note that many of the records have been redacted pursuant to N.C.G.S. §132-1.10(b)(5) because they contain the banking account information or Federal Express account numbers for Proterra.
Please note that there are a few emails that are under legal review because they may be confidential. I will be back in touch once that decision is made. In the meantime, if you have other questions please contact me.
