ACT | BFI Innovation Event

Why This Engagement Matters

Airport electrification has been identified by the ACT CEO Steering Group as a top priority for the Consortium. As a recognized leader in electrification — particularly among non-hub airports — KBFI is demonstrating how meaningful progress in this space can be both practical and scalable.

This workshop will showcase how airport leadership, tenants, transit agencies, and state partners are working together to advance electrification across airport operations.

What You’ll Learn

Participants will gain insight into:

• KBFI leadership’s electrification vision and implementation roadmap
  
  
• Airport and King County Metro Transit fleet electrification efforts
  
  
• Modern Aviation’s tenant-focused electrification initiatives
  
  
• ACT member WSDOT’s grant programs supporting electric infrastructure development

Innovation in Action

Consistent with ACT’s hands-on approach, attendees will see operational electric technologies firsthand, including:

• The electric ARFF Volterra (first of its kind in the United States)
  
  
• An electric airfield sweeper
  
  
• Additional electric fleet vehicles in active operation

This engagement is designed for airport executives, sustainability leaders, operations teams, and innovation professionals seeking practical pathways to advance electrification at their airports.
