This $7,389,500 Project Grant was awarded by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) under the Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs (CFDA 20.526). The purpose of the grant is to support Augusta Transit's efforts to improve air quality for riders and citizens by purchasing battery-electric buses (BEBs) and providing training for mechanics and bus operators.

The award will fund the procurement of replacement BEBs through a consortium that Augusta Transit is a member of. This is expected to reduce the authority's annual emissions by one-third, with the potential to achieve a 50% reduction in emissions from diesel buses by 2031. The grant also provides for training of mechanics on preventive maintenance and battery care, as well as hands-on training for bus operators to familiarize them with operating BEBs efficiently and safely. The project will improve transit access in 20 out of 21 census tracts of persistent poverty and historically disadvantaged communities in the Augusta-Richmond County area.
