NFI’s subsidiary, New Flyer has been named as a partner of choice by 14 transit agencies receiving more than 338 million USD in FTA grants.
The competitive grant awards have been made through the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA’s) 2024 Low- or No-Emission (Low-No) and Buses and Bus Facilities (BBF) programmes.
These programmes have awarded almost 1.5 billion USD to 117 projects in 47 states.
The 338 million USD total represents agencies that directly partnered with New Flyer as part of their grant applications.
Some of the grants have also been awarded to agencies who did not specify a named partner
The FTA has also awarded grants to agencies who did not specify a named partner and instead will use a procurement process to determine the manufacturer
Jennifer McNeill, Vice President, Public Sector Sales & Marketing, New Flyer and MCI said:This year’s Low-No grant cycle affirmed two things: USDOT’s support of resilient, domestic clean bus manufacturing with a healthier contracting environment, and our customers’ confidence in the value of owning a New Flyer bus.
Continued investment in low- or zero-emission buses is one of the key factors that allows us to continue driving innovation in the space. We are proud of the knowledge that every day our vehicles contribute to improving lives in communities across America.
