"The U.S. Federal Transit Administration has announced on November 20th a nationwide investment package totaling $2 billion for 165 transit projects across 45 states and Washington, D.C. It is one of the most extensive funding rounds of recent years, designed to support fleet renewals, depot upgrades, and infrastructure modernization. According to the agency, more than 2,400 new buses -all built with domestic components and labor-are expected to enter service as a result of this allocation."
"The distribution of funds reflects a wide range of agency priorities. In Houston, METRO will deploy approximately $101 million to replace older diesel units with new compressed natural gas (CNG) buses, while also constructing a dedicated CNG fueling station and upgrading a maintenance facility to support the new fleet. In Tampa, HART will use a $32 million allocation to introduce new CNG buses as part of its diesel phase-out."
