The Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration awarded the Chatham Area Transit Authority a $1,409,160 project grant from the Federal Transit Formula Grants program (CFDA 20.507) on September 23, 2021 to support the purchase of one zero-emission battery-powered electric vehicle and fast charger. The grant will replace one heavy-duty diesel transit vehicle and help the transit authority transition to more sustainable fleets. Chatham Area Transit Authority will provide $282,832 in matching funds from the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax to complete the $1.69 million project by March 30, 2026. The sales tax funding mechanism allows local communities in Georgia to tax themselves for specific purposes such as public transit.
