The Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, a federally recognized Indian tribe, received a $612,000 Project Grant from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) under the Formula Grants for Rural Areas and Tribal Transit Program (CFDA 20.509). The grant will be used to purchase one new electric shuttle bus and install a DC fast charger, replacing an older gasoline-powered shuttle that has exceeded its useful life. This project will support the tribe's 24/7 fixed route and on-demand public transit services, providing safe and reliable transportation for nearly 20,000 annual riders, including tribal citizens, employees, and the general public. By transitioning to a zero-emissions electric shuttle, the project is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and operations/maintenance costs, supporting the tribe's climate action goals and improving air quality in the surrounding area.
