Broome County awarded more than $3.2M federal grant to purchase low or no-emission buses

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — Broome County will use a more than $3.2 million federal grant to purchase or lease low or no-emissions buses and other transit vehicles.

Those buses rely on battery electric and fuel-cell power to provide cleaner and more energy-efficient transit services to communities nationwide.

The funding comes from the U.S. Department of Transportation through its low and no emission vehicle grant program, the office of U.S. Representative Claudia Tenney (R–New Hartford) said.

“I am pleased to announce this $3.25 million in funding for Broome County, which will make our community and public transportation cleaner for riders by promoting the use of more energy efficient vehicles and buses,” said Tenney. “The United States remains a world leader in reducing our carbon footprint, and investments like this in our transit services will contribute to these efforts even more while expanding public transportation options for residents of the Southern Tier.”
