This $1,915,990 federal 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 fund the purchase of two (2) 40-foot battery electric buses by the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) to replace an equal number of life and mileage expired buses currently in revenue service as part of the NFTA-Metro bus fleet. This project aims to reduce NFTA's overall average bus fleet age, minimize the number of buses out of service for repairs, and reduce the cost of fleet maintenance. The new battery electric buses will operate out of NFTA's Cold Spring facilities in Buffalo, NY, serving routes that connect people living in the city of Buffalo and its surrounding suburbs to employment, healthcare, education, and recreation opportunities.
