From the meeting
The October 8, 2026 exemption request explains that WCCTA won a FY 2024 FTA Low or No Emission Grant Program award, but in June 2026 the FTA approved an amendment that replaced planned fuel cell buses with diesel-hybrid buses. The original project had included nine fuel cell electric buses, a maintenance facility renovation, a hydrogen fueling station, and workforce training. The amendment removed the zero-emission scope, but the grant history still matters because it created the current funding gap and future rebid opportunity for zero-emission work.
