AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: July 28, 2026
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Kristen Petersen, Assistant City Manager/Director of Administrative Services
SUBJECT: Update on the DuartEBus and Duarte public transportation services RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council discuss and give direction to staff on the future of the DuartEBus transit system and other potential public transportation services
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this item

STRATEGIC PLAN
IMPACT: Goal G – G1.7 Infrastructure and Beautification

BACKGROUND
In 2014 the City of Duarte’s diesel transit buses had reached the end of their useful life and after several community surveys and workshops, City Council directed staff to replace them with an electric version. The City of Duarte purchased Proterra E2 battery-electric buses (“BEBs”) and began operation of the DuartEBus in partnership with Foothill Transit on our fixed route transit lines on April 1, 2019. The deployment of this new electric bus fleet made the City of Duarte the very first all-electric city system in Southern California.

Unfortunately, the Proterra BEBs have had numerous mechanical issues resulting in reliability and availability issues. Ultimately Proterra filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2023 and Phoenix Motors, who acquired Proterra in 2024, is unable to provide parts, software upgrades, warranty or service support. While Foothill Transit has been generous enough to backfill our fixed route with CNG buses when needed, it is time for Duarte to evaluate the next steps in retiring these transit buses and what direction the Council would like to take in providing public transportation to the community and supporting mobility needs in the future.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
As mentioned above, the City of Duarte kicked off the DuartEBus in 2019. Transit ridership has never fully recovered its pre-pandemic ridership. With an increased remote workforce, growing traveler concerns (real or perceived) about safety and the competition from on demand rideshare options, staff is not convinced that reinvesting in new fixed route buses is the best option.

Another alternative that many cities are using is microtransit or OnDemand transit systems. Staff has conducted research into these alternatives and looked at programs in surrounding communities.

Agenda Item: 17.F.

Page 234 of 235 ends

2 We have identified grant opportunities for implementing pilot programs and have estimates on the costs and ridership that could be expected with such a program. We would anticipate implementing a microtransit system that focuses on transporting people within the boundaries of the City and to our regional transportation resources, just like the DuartEBus does, but with more flexibility and timeliness than the current system.

Another important aspect of the future of Duarte’s public transportation is understanding the needs of the community. Given that one of the strategies listed in the Strategic Plan was to maintain transportation to support mobility needs, staff would like to conduct outreach to existing riders and potential riders. In person and online surveys would help us better understand how the system is being used now and how to develop a new program that not only meets those needs, but maybe even tapping into users that aren’t participating now. Additionally, we need to determine if our ridership extends outside City boundaries and identify potential regional partners, such as LA County.

Staff would like to discuss retiring the existing Proterra buses and whether transitioning the fixed route service to a microtransit service model or other on demand service model is the preferred direction.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council discuss and give direction to staff on the future of the DuartEBus transit system and other potential public transportation services.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.
