YUBA-SUTTER TRANSIT SECURES FEDERAL GRANT FOR THE NEW NEXTGEN TRANSIT FACILITY

Yuba-Sutter Transit is proud to report that an additional $12.71 million in grant funding was recently awarded towards the development of the Next Generation Transit Facility. The funding comes through the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) Grants for Buses and Bus Facilities program. Yuba-Sutter Transit’s NextGen Transit Facility project, planned for completion in 2028, is one of six projects across California selected for funding under this highly competitive federal grant program.

FTA's Grants for Buses and Bus Facilities Program, open only to state and local governmental agencies, supports capital projects to replace buses and related equipment and to rehabilitate, build, or lease bus-related facilities. For FY 2025-2026, approximately $400 million was available nationwide through this program.  

This funding will enable the development of a modern operations and maintenance facility for Yuba-Sutter Transit designed to:

• Support future transit service expansion and the region’s growing transportation needs
• Meet state mandates to transition to zero-emission buses
• Produce on-site energy and storage to cut fuel/energy costs

The $12.71 received could be the final major grant contribution needed, with $65.4 million already secured toward the estimated $65.5 million project. The grant award is a major milestone in building a more sustainable transit future for the Yuba-Sutter region.
