EMTOC Microgrid Showcased at RTA Leadership Briefing

The 2026 Regional Transportation Alliance Leadership Briefing brought Maryland transit officials to Montgomery County's EMTOC Microgrid, which provides up to 6.8 megawatts of clean energy through solar generation, battery storage, and charging systems. The facility is described as the largest transit depot microgrid in the country and supports Ride On's growing zero-emission bus fleet. Leaders also toured other parts of Maryland's transit network to examine approaches to faster bus service, multimodal connectivity, and road design.
