The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) awarded Regional Transportation Commission of Washoe County (RTC) a $10.3 million project grant on April 21, 2026, under the Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs (CFDA 20.526). The funding supports the procurement of six hydrogen fuel cell electric buses (FCEBs) and associated hydrogen fueling infrastructure, with ultimate project completion targeted for February 1, 2027. This initiative replaces aging diesel-hybrid vehicles and expands RTC's existing hydrogen fleet, building on the organization's established track record as an early adopter of alternative fuel technologies. The project deliverables include the purchase of hydrogen buses, hydrogen tank and fueling station equipment, and training and consulting services. By deploying zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell technology, which offers extended operational range and faster refueling compared to battery-electric alternatives, RTC will reduce energy consumption, harmful emissions, and direct carbon emissions across its transit network. The initiative directly benefits the Reno area, a region with documented poor air quality and environmental justice concerns, where the elimination of emissions from older diesel-hybrid buses will improve service quality for transit riders and enhance community-wide air quality outcomes.Federal Grant Award Summary
