🌍 This International Reducing CO2 Emissions Day, #BigBlueBus is celebrating progress toward a greener future! 🔹Last year, our 19 #BBB battery-electric buses traveled 333,561 miles, cutting over 22,000 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions. 🔹With plans for 195 electric buses and charging infrastructure, we’re on the road to a zero-emissions fleet by 2030. 🔹Our entire fleet exceeds all California Air Resources Board emission-lowering regulations. 🔹By leaving your car behind, you can reduce your individual carbon emissions by 20 pounds a day or 4,800 pounds a year. 💙Every action counts— #RideBlueGoGreen, reduce your carbon footprint, and protect our planet! Together, we’re driving sustainability forward! 🚍⚡ #ZeroEmissions #Sustainability #ReducingCO2 #SantaMonica

January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month! By educating ourselves and our community on how to spot the signs of trafficking, how to support those at risk, and when to take action we can do our part to end human trafficking. At #BigBlueBus, our Motor Coach Operators are trained to recognize and report any suspected human trafficking behavior on the bus. Together, we are building a stronger and safer community.

A BIG thank you to our incredible Motor Coach Operators who safely navigated #BBB Route 9 buses and passengers out of the Palisades wildfires amid intense smoke and flames. Their dedication ensured safe transport for our community, including large groups of seniors, to and from evacuation centers. We are immensely proud of our team and grateful for the outpour of support we’ve received from our community. 💙 Your kind words remind us why we do what we do. Together, we will always find a way to move forward. 🚍💙 For resources and updates regarding the Palisades fire, visit #MovewithGratitude #SantaMonicaStrong #RideBlue
