More than $7 million in funding has been approved by the Iowa Transportation Commission to purchase 73 new public transit vehicles.
The vehicles will replace those that are past their useful life.
Funds are granted through the Federal Transit Administration’s Grants for Buses and Bus Facilities Formula Program, as well as the Federal Highway Administration’s Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Program.
Vehicle replacement projects were approved for 20 different public transit systems.
