A ride through the iconic canyon in Zion National Park is now quieter and more comfortable, thanks to new electric buses.
During a preview of the buses on Wednesday, Lisa White, transportation manager for Zion National Park, told St. George News the new buses are noticeably quieter than the current fleet. These are the first five battery-electric buses replacing the current propane-powered vehicles. Delivery of more battery-electric buses will continue in the months ahead.
"Up in the canyon, you will notice a big difference in the soundscape of the canyon where you won't hear a lot of vehicles in the canyon, you'll just hear the canyon through the natural sounds that are meant to be in Zion, so we can experience it in the way it's meant to be experienced," White said. Five electric shuttle buses are now in service in Springdale, the town adjacent to the park. They are made possible due to a $33 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation.
