$775 Million for buses and bus facilities. Applications due in June.
Hmm...that's not a lot of money at all... Plus it will accelerate the retirement of Flxible Metros and other good aged buses! :(
I think upgrading facilities would be most important, though! I wonder what kind of match would be required...

I hope Ride On gets some to get some baby Gilligs to replace the Helldorados/make fleet replacements in case the Chumpions never come back.
Is this in conjunction to TIGGER and ARRA?
THE BUS should get some also to replace those horrible SLFs UGH
If WMATA gets some (Hopefully) CNGs, Diesels and a rehabbed Annex and more artics
The press release does not indicate any match requirement. IIRC, ARRA $$$ did not have a match requirement. It's first come, first serve.

Yeah it would be nice to buy new buses for the upcoming X9.
