The U.S. Department of Transportation, through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), is offering cooperative agreements to public entities. This grant aims to demonstrate hybrid propulsion systems in small transit vehicles (under 30 feet) operating in revenue service. The project will support the development and analysis of advanced propulsion technologies. Due to legislative requirements, the initiative must specifically benefit California. This grant is for the purpose of advancing FTA’s Strategic Research Goals, which include protecting the environment and promoting energy independence. Proposals should detail plans to improve energy efficiency, reduce transit vehicle emissions, and identify and overcome barriers to adopting clean technologies in public transit.

| Description: | The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), hereby requests proposals from public entities that will ultimately result in the award of one or more cooperative agreements to demonstrate, in revenue service, small transit vehicles employing a hybrid propulsion system. For this project, small transit vehicles are defined as vehicles less than 30-feet in length. The demonstration project will support the development and analysis of advanced propulsion technologies for small transit vehicles. Due to legislative restraints, in addition to the national goals, the project must benefit the state of California specifically. One of FTA�s Strategic Research Goals is to protect the environment and promote energy independence. Proposals should address both objectives identified under this goal: Facilitate development of technologies to improve energy efficiency and reduce transit vehicle emissions; and identify and overcome barriers to adoption of clean technologies. |
