Fresno, California, has been awarded a significant grant of $52.1 million from the California State Transportation Agency to revamp its public transportation system. The funds are earmarked for various FAX projects, such as expanding service along Church Avenue to better connect the community, improving bus stops citywide, and planning for a new on-demand service to the airport. Notably, a portion of the grant will be utilized to procure zero-emission buses that run on hydrogen. These developments are expected to not only enhance the transit experience for residents but also contribute to the local economy by creating more than 950 job opportunities. The city's vision for these projects is to boost ridership numbers and foster a more sustainable and efficient public transportation network.
