At the end of November, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) awarded more than $50 million in grant funding to four Northwest Washington transit agencies to transition to low emission buses, improve service reliability, and invest in paratransit services. The grant funding comes from FTA's Low- or No-Emission Vehicle and Buses and Bus Facilities initiatives.

This funding is a result of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law continuing to deliver cleaner and greener transportation for Northwest Washington.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law invested $5.6 billion through Fiscal Year 2026 in the Low-No Program – more than six times greater than the previous five years of funding combined – and nearly $2 billion in Buses and Bus Facilities.

As a co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional Bus Caucus, I am committed to increasing federal funding for bus transit, including low-emission buses.

This is how the $50 million in grant funding will be distributed for Northwest Washington:

* $10.07 million for Everett Transit to replace diesel and hybrid buses with new hybrid buses
* $9.37 million for Skagit Transit to purchase paratransit vehicles and 8 heavy-duty 40-foot coaches
* $13.99 million for Community Transit to replace diesel buses with hybrid buses
* $16.72 million for Whatcom Transportation Authority to replace diesel and hybrid buses with new hybrid buses

More soon,
