Earlier this week, Congressman Rick Larsen, announced that the City of Everett has been awarded a $3,358,459 competitive grant to help reduce carbon emissions in city buses.<\/p>\n<p>The grant was made possible by the Low or No Emissions Bus Program which was authorized by the five-year transportation bill Larsen helped pass last year. The legislation secured a total of $3.5 billion in highway funding and $1.2 billion in transit funding to improve Washington state\u2019s infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is good news for the City of Everett,\u201d said Larsen. \u201cIn Washington state transportation means jobs and these resources will help Snohomish County lead when it comes to an energy efficient system of public transportation while also reducing local carbon emissions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis grant is an investment in creating a healthier community in Everett,\u201d said Tom Hingson, <a href=\"http:\/\/everetttransit.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Everett Transit<\/a> Director. \u201cThe funding will allow us to replace 22-year-old diesel buses with all-electric, battery-operated buses. It\u2019s really the first step in our efforts to modernize Everett Transit\u2019s fixed-route fleet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"ca-pub-2044727446477601\";\n\/* Google sidebar *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"5652504607\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 336;\ngoogle_ad_height = 280;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Electric buses will be coming to Everett soon.
