The doors to a Tesla Model X SUV swung open for the first time to five long-distance commuters, making it the first all-electric vehicle in OCTA’s Vanpool program.
The introduction of the first all-electric vehicle is another important step toward OCTA’s goal of providing a balanced and sustainable transportation system for Orange County, which includes vehicles that release zero emissions into the environment.
The Tesla X is provided by Green Commuter, one of three vanpool companies contracted by OCTA to provide vehicles to commuters in Orange County to help them share the ride as they travel to work.
