🚍✨ A New Era of Sustainable Transit in Salem! ✨🚍 This month the Salem Area Mass Transit District celebrates the addition of our first-ever battery electric buses! These state-of-the-art, zero-emission buses are now part of our fleet and ready to serve Route 11 – Salem’s first Zero Emissions Corridor. This investment along the 12-mile corridor, stretching from Keizer Transit Center to the southeast corner of Salem, emphasizes a strong commitment to the greater Salem-Keizer community and the environment. The decision to electrify Route 11 was based on ridership, logistics for on-route charging at Keizer Transit Center, and the district’s focus on mitigating historical inequities within our community. A special thank you to U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley for his ongoing support for sustainable initiatives. He has been instrumental in making this vision a reality. This electric corridor is more than just a route—it's a commitment to a greener, healthier future. With these new battery electric buses, we're reducing emissions and noise pollution, while providing our riders with a smoother, quieter ride. We’re proud to lead the way in sustainable transit, and this is just the beginning. Together, we're driving toward a cleaner, more sustainable community.

Last month, we launched a specially designed bus wrap in honor of National Immigrant Heritage and History. The vibrant full-vehicle wrap, created by Cherriots employee, Amelia Crawford, celebrates the diverse contributions of immigrants to American society, culture, and history. Amelia said that when she was creating the design, she wanted to capture the physical and emotional challenges that immigrants face, shining a light on their incredible resilience and hope. Join us in this journey of celebration and recognition. Take a picture with the bus, post it to social media, and be sure to tag us (@cherriots). We would love to hear from you!
