BYD (Build Your Dreams) congratulates its transit agency partners for securing Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grants to expand the use of zero-emission bus technology.
Agencies partnering with BYD secured over $10 million in FTA funding through the agency’s Low- or No-Emission (Low-No) Grant program, which funds the purchase or lease of zero-emission and low-emission transit buses and supporting facilities.
“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 FTA awarded over $130 million in Low-No grants this year to transit agencies in 40 states and the District of Columbia.
BYD was the first company in the industry to have both a unionized workforce and a Community Benefits Agreement, committing to hiring veterans, second chance employees, and others facing hurdles to manufacturing employment.
