Slaughter Announces $7 Million for the NFTA to Purchase 13 New Hybrid Buses
October 2010

WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Louise Slaughter (NY-28) today announced that the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) has been awarded a $7 million grant that will allow them to purchase 13 new hybrid buses as part of a national bus repair initiative. The funding comes at an important time when many of the diesel busses currently in the NFTA’s fleet are due to be replaced.

“I’m so pleased NFTA has been awarded this grant that will allow them to purchase new hybrid buses to replace the old diesel vehicles currently in their fleet,” said Slaughter. “Hybrid buses are cost-effective, environmentally sound and operate with efficiency that a standard diesel bus in incapable of possessing. It does us a great service to have clean, energy-efficient vehicles that provide Western New Yorkers with consistent and reliable transportation options. I’m also pleased that the $7 million will go towards the purchase of vehicles made right here in America.”
