The City of Huntsville received a $2,435,780 Formula Grant award from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) under the Urbanized Area Formula Funding Program (CFDA 20.507), obligated on July 16, 2026. The award funds the acquisition of five replacement 100% battery electric paratransit vans and associated charging infrastructure to modernize Huntsville Transit's fleet. These vehicles will be strategically deployed to lower-mileage driver assignments and routes with breaks during shifts, enabling the transition to emission-free paratransit operations. The battery electric vans will deliver significant environmental and operational benefits, including elimination of tailpipe emissions (carbon dioxide, particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur oxides) and substantial noise pollution reductions compared to conventional combustion engine buses. By replacing aging gasoline vans with clean-operating vehicles, the city will maintain current paratransit service levels and support expanding demand in its growing elderly population. The award encompasses both vehicle procurement and the purchase and installation of charging infrastructure necessary to support the fleet. The project is scheduled for completion by March 30, 2034, with no subrecipient activities identified.
