Rep. Rick Larsen, WA-02, today announced more than $1.6 million in federal funding for three new hybrid-electric buses for the Whatcom Transportation Authority.

“We can’t have a big league economy with little league infrastructure. These new hybrid-electric buses will cut down on fuel costs and emissions, all while giving Whatcom residents a better ride,” Larsen said. “Investments in public transportation like this are critical to create jobs and keep our economy moving forward.”

The $1,337,512 grant is from the Federal Transit Administration’s State of Good Repair program. For more information, visit: https://www.fta.dot.gov/13248.html.
