The federal Project Grant award in the amount of $6,200,000 was provided by the Federal Transit Administration's Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs (CFDA 20.526) to fund the modernization and expansion of the Burnsville Bus Garage operated by the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority (MVTA). The grant will support Phase 3 of the project, which includes installing maintenance area mechanical features, implementing energy efficiency and sustainability upgrades such as lighting, roofing, HVAC, doors, and windows, as well as state-of-good-repair items and security enhancements. Additionally, the project will lay the foundation for electrification initiatives, including technology deployments and the development of a workforce center. The award will improve the efficiency and turnaround time of bus maintenance and repairs, support MVTA's local and regional sustainability goals, and provide a work center for potential transit workers.
