FTA AWARDS TANK $3.1 MILLION GRANT FOR LOW-EMISSION BUSES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The award is part of a $1.66 billion award to transit systems across the country, funded by
the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and will provide TANK necessary funds to purchase new
buses powered by hybrid-electricity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky (TANK) is pleased to announce
the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) will award the agency $3.1 million in grant funds to
purchase hybrid-electric buses, as TANK replaces aging transit buses through an ongoing
fleet replacement program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cTANK\u2019s mission is to provide safe, reliable transit services to the people of Northern
Kentucky, while keeping abreast of technology and working to use resources in a
responsible way,\u201d said TANK Interim General Manager Gina Douthat. \u201cFederal funds like
these are critical in driving that mission and allowing us to continue to provide reliable and
sustainable public transportation to our community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The grant comes from the FTA\u2019s Low-No program, designed to replace traditional diesel
buses with low and no emission vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


This grant will provide gap funding to allow portions of TANK\u2019s next two diesel bus orders
(14 buses) to be upgraded to hybrid-electric buses. A new bus costs approximately
$500,000 for standard diesel buses and up to nearly $800,000 for hybrid-electric buses.
TANK currently has 100 buses in its fleet; 23 of them are hybrid-electric. This funding
provides the direct benefit of introducing more fuel-efficiency into the fleet while at the same
time reducing the number of buses in circulation past their useful life<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
