The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Transit Administration (FTA) recently awarded the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) an $11.4 million grant to purchase 22 battery electric public transportation buses.
The FTA awarded grants to 70 projects in 39 states. The projects will modernize and improve transit by helping communities purchase new technology and electric buses that will eliminate greenhouse gas emissions, promote cleaner air, or address the climate crisis.
