This $1,270,791.00 Project Grant award from the Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration (CFDA 20.526 - Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs) will enable the City of Dubuque, Iowa to improve public transportation services. Key project activities include:
Replacing one bus in the fixed route fleet with a battery electric bus and installing accompanying charging infrastructure. Acquiring a new ADA-accessible passenger van to replace an aging vehicle used for driver transport. Purchasing 4 new bus shelters with solar-powered lighting to replace existing shelters in poor condition or install at high-use stops.
These projects will enhance access, mobility, and rider experience for the Dubuque community, particularly the 41,009 residents living within 1/2 mile of a bus stop and the 31,333 jobs accessible via the fixed route system. The electrification of the bus fleet also aligns with the City's goals to reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality.
