Mayor of my town Sold us out to CHINA. Bought up mass land, and put up Solar Farms too. BYD is everywhere!
BYD announced Tuesday two of its transit agency partners have secured Federal Transit Administration grants to expand the use of zero-emissions buses.
The agencies received more than $10 million in FTA funding through the agency’s Low- or No-Emission (Low-No) Grant program. The program funds the purchase or lease of zero-emission and low-emission transit buses.
“BYD is ready to assist its transit agency customers navigate the complexities of the competitive federal grant process,” said BYD North America Vice President Patrick Duan. “We’re proud to have helped secure over $10 million for our customers through this year’s Low-No grant program.”
The Antelope Valley Transit Authority, headquartered in Lancaster where BYD’s bus factory is located, was awarded $6.2 million to purchase electric buses. The AVTA, which serves communities in the northern part of Los Angeles County, has logged more than 2 million miles of zero-emissions operations with BYD buses.
The Capital Area Transit System in Baton Rouge, La. was awarded $3.87 million to replace vehicles that are no longer useful and to support charging infrastructure.
The FTA awarded a total of more than $130 million in grants this year to transit agencies in 40 states and the District of Columbia.
“These grants will help communities nationwide deploy the next generation of bus technology to enhance their transportation system,” said U.S. Secretary of Transportation Elaine L. Chao.
