Pawtucket, RI – Arden Engineering Constructors (AEC) announced it received the 2024 Excellence Award from the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) for its work on the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA) Bus Charging Station.
The new charging stations are designed to efficiently charge RIPTA’s electric bus fleet and benefit RIPTA’s busiest bus route, reducing emissions and greenhouse gases. AEC’s engineers designed and installed the charging system, which includes ABB E-mobility pantograph technology and a backup gas-fired generator.
