"Our fleet was built largely around early-generation hybrid technology that was not delivering as promised, putting us on a path toward a rapidly declining state of good repair."
"We made a clear commitment: move away from dual-propulsion systems and commit to a fully electric future, prioritizing the restoration of our fleet's state of good repair."
"The strategy involved purchasing lower-cost vehicles while ensuring that our approach was both operationally sound and publicly defensible."
