Congresswoman Corrine Brown was thrilled to announce a $3 million Department of Transportation-Federal Transit Administration grant for the City of Gainesville. The grant will be used to replace three diesel engine buses with hybrid electric buses and retrofit 52 existing fleet with Mini Hybrid Thermal Systems (D2011-CLNF-003 Procure HE Biodiesel buses and electric cooling system conversions for existing biodiesel buses). “Beyond a doubt, this funding will serve as a tremendous benefit to our local economy, to the environment, and for the public transportation system in the city of Gainesville” said Congresswoman Brown.
