Over the last two decades, Long Beach Transit Company (LBT) has been promoting the use of clean air technologies with its bus service in Southern California. After switching from diesel-powered to hybrid buses in the mid-2000s, LBT later added a new fleet of electric battery-powered buses. STV provided civil, electrical, and architectural design services for new vehicle plug-in charging stations at the Long Beach Maintenance and Operations Center in support of this new fleet.

With room for ten 40-foot vehicles, the stations charge each bus battery to its full 150-mile capacity overnight. Serving residents and visitors alike, the virtually silent and emission free buses are a welcome improvement, especially among the patrons of the many outdoor cafes along the service route.

STV provided additional bridging documents for an in-route induction charging station adjacent to the Long Beach Convention Center featuring , canopies, an information kiosk, equipment layout, and decorative paving. A third new bus station was also designed for use at the Long Beach Transit Mall.
