I applaud these critical grants and I will continue leading the charge for investments that reduce air pollution and create healthier air for all our communities.” “I am proud that the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is making it possible for transit agencies to purchase cleaner buses and finally invest in the charging and maintenance facilities needed to make this transition possible. “Today’s announcement is a significant step in California’s transition to zero- emission bus fleets,” said Senator Padilla. These programs-which received increased funding through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law-help transit agencies purchase and lease new, cleaner vehicles as well as invest in required supporting facilities such as recharging, refueling, and maintenance facilities. Senators Alex Padilla and Dianne Feinstein (both D-Calif.) have announced that California was awarded over $184 million in grants to support California transit agencies’ transition to zero- and low-emission buses through the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) Low or No Emission Grant Program (Low-No Program) and the FY 2023 Grants for Buses and Bus Facilities Program.
