The purpose of the award is to provide one (1) replacement transit van (battery electric).

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) awarded Redding Area Bus Authority (RABA) a formula grant in the amount of $366,000 under the Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs (CFDA 20.526) on July 22, 2025. The award funds the purchase and delivery of one replacement battery electric transit van to serve the Redding, California service area. This vehicle procurement enables RABA to modernize its transit fleet with zero-emission technology while maintaining reliable public transportation services to the Redding area's transit-dependent populations.

The project is scheduled for completion by December 31, 2026, with no subrecipient activities identified. As a local government transit authority serving Shasta County, RABA will directly implement this capital project, which aligns with the Federal Transit Administration's ongoing investment in fleet modernization and low or no emissions transit initiatives across designated recipients and transit agencies nationwide.
