These systems include:\n\nThe award comes from two U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration grant programs funded through the bipartisan infrastructure law that DelBene supported. The Low or No Emission Program provides state and local governments with funding to purchase or lease zero-emission and low-emission transit buses. The Buses and Bus Facilities Program assists transit agencies with replacing, purchasing, and rehabilitating buses and associated facilities.\n\n\u201cThese resources are a win for our environment and for Washingtonians who rely on our public transit systems to get to work and school, buy groceries, and visit their doctors,\u201d said DelBene. \u201cThanks to the bipartisan infrastructure law that I helped pass, these critical investments are helping us achieve a safer, greener future.\u201d\n\n\u201cStride bus rapid transit will dramatically improve the daily commute for thousands of riders north, east and south of Lake Washington,\u201d said Kenmore Council Member and Sound Transit Board Member David Baker. \u201cThe electric buses that this federal grant helps fund will provide a fast, reliable connection to light rail and offer a green alternative to sitting in traffic. I want to thank the Biden administration and our Congressional delegation for their partnership and support for this grant.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:59:24Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://delbene.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=3214"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7856839802116156, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
