President Joe Biden is urging passage of a $2.3 trillion plan to rebuild Americaâs infrastructure, including improvements to bus systems.
$25 billion would go to expanding bus routes and rail lines. Another $25 billion would pay to convert gasoline and diesel-powered mass transit buses to zero-emission vehicles.
Geoff Straw, Executive Director of the San Luis Obispo Regional Transit Authority, says the increased federal funds would allow for further investment in zero-emission vehicles. All buses after 2029 have to be zero-emission and we re starting to phase those in in 2026. We knew this was coming so we designed the bus garage to handle only clean vehicles in the future. We re not investing in any gas tanks or diesel tanks for the internal combustion engines we currently operate,â Straw said.
