The House of Commons is looking into the possibility of transporting MPs around Parliament Hill in a more environmentally friendly way.
MPs, senators and parliamentary staff have access to a fleet of white shuttle buses they can use to get around the parliamentary precinct in downtown Ottawa.
Now, the House is exploring the option of converting that fleet to battery-powered vehicles, according to a document posted last month on the federal government’s procurement website.
The House of Commons Transportation and Fleet Management Services issued the request for information (RFI) notice asking manufacturers about electric options available to replace the 16-person passenger buses.
