The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) awarded a $10,000,000 Project Grant under the Buses and Bus Facilities Formula, Competitive, and Low or No Emissions Programs (CFDA 20.526) to the Autoridad Metropolitana De Autobuses (Metropolitan Bus Authority), a U.S. state government entity and transit authority in Puerto Rico. The grant purpose is to purchase four zero-emission electric buses and construct two dual solar-powered charging stations to replace existing diesel buses and support sustainable transit operations. The project also dedicates 5% of the budget towards workforce development to train employees on the new electric bus technology. This grant aligns with the FTA's Buses and Bus Facilities program, which provides capital funding for bus and bus-related infrastructure modernization and emissions-reducing initiatives nationwide.
