Green Bus Act of 2019
This bill requires all buses purchased or leased with Federal Transit Administration funds to be zero-emission beginning on October 1, 2029.
The Department of Transportation (DOT) must issue an annual best practices report on zero-emission bus programs to help states and transit agencies implement zero-emission bus fleets.
The bill reauthorizes through FY2029 specific programs related to low or no emission vehicles and components.
DOT must give preference in awarding grants under the low or no emission program to transit agencies who have completed a full fleet transition plan.
