Oceanside, CA-Ngomhla ka-Juni 30, isithili saseNorth Transit District (NCTD) siya kugqiba inkqubo encinci yokunciphisa abafundi abajongene nokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni enyakatho yeSan Diego County. Le nkqubo yaphumela ekugqibeleni i-21,500 ehlaziyiweyo ye-NCTD yokuthengwa ngabafundi kwizikolo ezininzi kwiNorth County.
IiNgxowa kule nkqubo zenziwe yenziwe yiNkqubo yeCandelo lokuSebenza kweTransport Transit (LCTOP). Le nkqubo inciphisa rhoqo i-$ 59 SPRINTER / BREEZE yexabiso elidlulileyo ngenyanga nge-$ 25 ngomfundi ngamnye; Intengo yokugqibela yokupasa ihluka ngokusekelwe kwizaphulelo ezongezelelweyo, kubandakanywa inkxaso evela kwezinye izikolo. Inkxaso-mpahla evela kwi-LCTOP yanceda ukugcina i-SPRINTER umthengi, njengoko ulawulo lwaye lwahlula imisebenzi yeBREEZE.
"Ukufumana abafundi ngaphandle kweemoto kunye nokuthutha akusiyo nje inzuzo kwimigwaqo yethu evulekileyo apha kwiNorth County, kodwa negalelo lokuba nomoya ococekileyo kule ndawo enhle," utshilo uMatekisi Tucker, umlawuli olawulayo we-NCTD.
Injongo ye-LCTOP kukunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni kwilizwe ngokusebenzisa iinkqubo ezahlukeneyo; ixhaswa ngemali evela kwintengiso yekharkoni yombuso kwiNgxowa-mali yokuNcitshiswa kweGesi yeGreenhouse. I-LCTOP ivumela i-arhente ukuba ihlawule imali eyayifumanayo kwiminyaka emithathu. Ukunceda ummandla uhlangabezane neenjongo zokunciphisa ukungcola, i-NCTD iqale ukugcina iimali ze-LCTOP kwi-2017-eqikelelwa ngaphezu kwe-1.5 yezigidi ngonyaka-ukuthengwa kweebhasi ezinhlanu zombane.
I-NCTD yeBREEZE ibhasi yeebhasi iqukethe amabhasi e-163. Okwangoku, ngaphezu kwe-80% yeenqwelo zomoya zinegesi yendalo (CNG). Ngelixa iibhasi ze-CNG zibonelela nge-diesel, okanye iibhasi ze-petroli eziqhelekileyo, iibhasi zombane zihlambulukile njengoko zineziphumo ezikhutshwayo.
"Iibhasi zombane ziza kubakho ukongeza kwinqwelo ye-NCTD yangoku," uTucker waqhubeka. "Utshintsho oluya kutshintshi kwiinqwelo zombane-magesi luyinjongo yethu kwaye le nyathelo elifanelekileyo kwicala elifanelekileyo."
Abathathi-nxaxheba kwinkqubo yokunciphisa i-fare yabantwana ababandakanya: i-California State University, iSan Marcos; Mira Costa College; Ikholeji yasePalomar; kunye neVista yabafundi abadala. I-NCTD iya kuqhubeka iqabane kunye nezikolo ukunceda ukunciphisa ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni nokunceda abafundi bafike apho bafuna khona ukuya khona.
