The Minnesota Department of Transportation announced Tuesday it had secured a $3.4 million federal grant for six electric buses.
The new buses, MnDOT said, will replace six conventional gas-powered buses in rural transit systems in that state, including two buses for the New Ulm service line in Heartland Express/Brown County Human Services; one bus on the Owatonna service line in the SMART/Cedar Valley Services, and one bus for the Fairmont service line with the Prairie Lakes Transit/Faribault-Martin County Transit Board.
