The Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority (Lynx) received a $6,478,370 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration (FTA) under the Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs (CFDA 20.526). The funding will be used to procure 10 compressed natural gas (CNG) fixed-route buses to replace an equivalent number of diesel buses, as well as conduct pre- and post-buy America audits. This project is expected to reduce energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and maintenance issues associated with an aging fleet, thereby improving the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of Lynx's transit services in Orange, Osceola, and Seminole counties in Florida. The award is intended to benefit transportation-disadvantaged populations, including minority and low-income communities, by enhancing access to employment, medical care, and other essential services. No sub-recipient activities will be funded under this grant.
