The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) awarded a $28,622,639 Project Grant to Montgomery County, Maryland under the Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs (CFDA 20.526). The purpose of this grant is to fund the procurement of 13 zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell electric buses (FCBs) and the construction of a hydrogen fuel production and dispensing station to support bus transit services in Montgomery County. Specifically, the grant will enable the county to replace 9 diesel and 4 CNG buses with 13 zero-emission FCBs, as well as build a new hydrogen fueling facility at the county's existing transit operations center.
