Washington State Public Transportation Conference

Driving Zero-Emission Microtransit Forward

From August 16–20, 2025, transit leaders from across Washington and beyond will gather in Tukwila and Seattle, WA for the 49th Washington State Public Transportation Conference, Vendor Expo, and State Roadeo. Hosted in partnership with King County Metro, this event is a hub for innovation, collaboration, and practical solutions to today’s transit challenges.

Damera Corporation is proud to be part of this year’s Vendor Expo, showcasing the Karsan eJEST electric minibus on static display — a right-sized, fully accessible, zero-emission vehicle already making an impact in North American cities.

Why the eJEST?

Electrifying a transit fleet can be a complex transition, but the eJEST makes it smoother, more cost-effective, and service-ready from day one.

‍

• Right-Sized for Maximum Efficiency – Designed specifically for urban cores, suburban neighborhoods, and on-demand microtransit, the eJEST’s compact footprint makes it easy to navigate narrow streets while still offering comfortable passenger capacity.

‍

• Fully Accessible – ADA-compliant low-floor design ensures barrier-free boarding for all passengers, including those with mobility devices.

‍

• Proven Performance – With up to 130 miles of range, fast charging capabilities, and reliable operation in real-world conditions, the eJEST is built for consistent service delivery.

‍

• Passenger Comfort – Quiet operation, smooth ride quality, and modern interiors create a better rider experience.

‍

• Cost Savings Over Time – Lower fuel and maintenance costs help agencies reinvest in service improvements.
