Hybrid Fuel California Transit Bus Technology Research
The U. S. Department of Transportation (DOT), through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), hereby requests proposals from public entities that will ultimately result in the award of one or more cooperative agreements to demonstrate, in revenue service, small transit vehicles employing a hybrid propulsion
system.
For this project, small transit vehicles are defined as vehicles less than 30-feet in length.
The demonstration project will support the development and analysis of advanced propulsion technologies for small transit vehicles.
Due to legislative restraints, in addition to the national goals, the project must benefit the state of California specifically.
One of FTA�s Strategic Research Goals is to protect the environment and promote energy independence.
Proposals should address both objectives identified under this goal:
Facilitate development of technologies to improve energy efficiency and reduce transit vehicle emissions; and identify and overcome barriers to adoption of clean technologies.

Keeping Half the Profits Beats Non-profits for Social Impact
Melbourne social enterprise Who Gives A Crap sold nearly 3 million rolls of toilet paper in 2014/15 and gave half the proceeds to WaterAid Australia, but co-founder Simon Griffiths says the donation would have been less had the startup adopted a non-profit model when it launched two years ago.
