The Western Contra Costa Transit Authority (WestCAT) will receive $20,646,189 to buy hydrogen fuel cell buses to replace older diesel buses and expand its hydrogen fueling station and maintenance facilities, according to the transit agency.
The grant is part of $1.5 billion in federal funding to support 117 projects that aim to improve public transportation in 47 states. Over the last three years, the Federal Transit Administration has sent nearly $5 billion to replace and modernize transit buses, building new technology with American workers. U.S. factories will produce more than 3,650 new buses.
As part of the $20.6M in funding it was awarded, WestCAT said it will provide workforce training to support its transition to an entirely zero-emission fleet.
