The grant funding enables GCTD to maintain its fleet in a state of good repair consistent with federal transit asset management requirements. The replacement buses will benefit GCTD staff (drivers, maintenance technicians, dispatchers, and administrators) and the riding public, with particular emphasis on serving transit-dependent populations including seniors, individuals with disabilities, low-income riders, and students across Galveston and Brazoria Counties. By modernizing its vehicle fleet, GCTD will improve service reliability, safety, and accessibility while reducing operational costs associated with aging equipment.
