Los Angeles Metro Rail (Metro) will receive more than $77.5 million from a federal grant for the purchase of dozens of battery electric buses and the installation of new chargers, Rep. Adam Schiff announced July 9.
Mr. Schiff (D-Calif.) had written a letter to the U.S. Department of Transportation urging funding approval for Metro’s Zero-Emission Bus and Charging Infrastructure Project. The agency aims to acquire battery-electric buses, charging equipment, and supporting infrastructure to operate reliable zero-emission services, spanning multiple cities within L.A. County.
