California Announces Nearly $200 Million in Clean Transportation Grants

California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Oct. 27 the approval of $192 million to fund 136 public transportation projects designed to reduce pollution and increase low-cost public transport options.

This year, 31 projects have provided free or reduced fares, another 31 expanded services, while 22 replaced fleets with electric vehicles and infrastructure, and 16 provided for the purchase and development of renewable energy and fuel sources, including electric and hydrogen.

“More clean and affordable transportation is coming to California, cutting pollution and making it easier for folks to get around,” Mr. Newsom said in a press release announcing the grants. “These programs are key to our climate goals—building charging stations, getting more EV buses on the roads, and reducing costs for public transit.”
