Metro is required to document funded projects scheduled to use federal funds over the next four years. The current cycle is documented in the 2015-18 Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program.

TriMet has been awarded a federal grant to purchase zero-emission battery electric buses with en-route fast-charging equipment and depot plug-in charging in the Portland area as part of its plans to procure future zero emission buses to create a cleaner, more energy-efficient fleet.

This award triggers an amendment to the 2015-18 Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program: Low or No-Emission (Low-No) Bus Program. The public review period for the amendment starts on Dec. 19, 2016 and concludes on Tuesday, Dec. 30, at 5 p.m.
