To replace two diesel buses with hybrid buses

The Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration awarded Research Triangle Regional Public Transportation Authority (doing business as GoTriangle) $2.09 million on August 21, 2026, under the Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs (CFDA 20.526) to purchase two hybrid buses to replace two existing diesel buses. The recipient will deliver two hybrid buses to GoTriangle passengers in the Research Triangle region of North Carolina. Performance runs through March 30, 2034. The program provides capital funding to states and transit agencies for replacing, rehabilitating, and purchasing buses and bus-related equipment, with eligibility including low or no emissions bus projects. GoTriangle, a local government entity and transit authority serving Wake, Durham, and Orange counties, operates fixed-route bus service and has received multiple prior FTA awards for fleet modernization and operational support. No subrecipients are involved in this award.
