USDOT set to nearly double the number of electric buses in US

A pair of newly expanded federal programs will nearly double the number of electric buses on US roads in one grant cycle alone — if domestic manufacturers can keep up with the demand. On Tuesday, the Federal Transit Administration announced a record $2.2 billion in competitive grants under the Buses and Bus Facilities and the Low- and No-Emissions Vehicle Programs, which collectively received a staggering 600-percent boost when the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law was signed.
