The Sacramento Regional Transit District (SacRT) has been awarded a significant $76.8 million federal grant from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for a comprehensive sustainable transportation initiative. This grant, part of the Low or No Emission Grant program, will facilitate the purchase of new hydrogen fuel cell buses, the construction of a hydrogen fueling station, the modernization of bus maintenance facilities, and the development of a workforce training program for green transportation. SacRT's General Manager and CEO, Henry Li, and Board Chair, Patrick Kennedy, emphasized the importance of this investment in realizing a greener future and creating opportunities for the Sacramento community. The project has garnered praise from local representatives, including Congresswoman Doris Matsui and Representative Ami Bera, who see it as a significant step towards cleaner energy and improved transit services. The Federal Transit Administration and California State Treasurer Fiona Ma also commended SacRT for its forward-thinking approach to sustainable transportation. Strong partnerships with various organizations have played a crucial role in securing additional funds for the project. With a focus on reducing emissions, improving air quality, and boosting economic development, SacRT's initiative highlights the region's commitment to sustainable transportation and innovation.
