Electric Bus Grant

June 30, 2021

The Connecticut Department of Transportation was awarded a grant from the Federal Transit Administration for the purchase of ten battery electric buses and ten DC fast chargers.
 

The new buses will be given to the CTtransit Waterbury division, making it the first bus facility in the state capable of running a 100% battery electric bus transit fleet. These buses are not only environmentally friendly, but they also provide our transit system with a much needed update.

I hope that this is a first step of many. Thanks again to the Biden administration, Governor Lamont, and the Connecticut Congressional Congress for the their continued dedication to fighting climate change and improving local transportation.
