A total of $1.66 billion was awarded by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to 48 states and territories, supporting 150 bus fleets and facilities throughout the United States to invest in cleaner transportation, reduce pollution and meet the Biden-Harris Administration's goal of net zero emissions by 2050. The funding was provided through the FTA's Buses and Bus Facilities and Low- and No-Emission (Low-No) Vehicle grant programs and will support the purchase of more than 1,800 bus vehicles in urban, suburban, rural and tribal communities. Of those vehicles, more than 1,100 qualify as zero emission, nearly doubling the number of zero-emission buses currently on the road. Additionally, for the first time, five percent of this year's Low-No funding will be used to train transit workers on how to maintain and operate new clean bus technology. |
