This $1,753,536 Formula Grant award from the Federal Transit Administration's Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs (CFDA 20.526) will be used by the Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority (dba Sound Transit) to purchase approximately one (1) 60-foot articulated battery electric bus. This bus will support Sound Transit's Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service expansion along the SR 522 corridor in King County, Washington. The new electric bus is expected to enhance reliability, reduce emissions, and increase ridership by 77% to over 2.1 million trips per year once the BRT service is fully operational by 2028. This grant-funded procurement aligns with the program's objectives to modernize transit infrastructure and implement sustainable transportation solutions across the United States.
