The Regional Transportation Commission will receive the funds to replace its diesel transit buses and provide the community with a \u201cGreen Fleet.\u201d Rep. Titus, a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, wrote a letter to U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx in March to encourage DOT funding for the new buses. The RTC will replace the diesel buses at the end of their designated service life.\n\u201cOlder diesel vehicles have higher fuel costs, require more maintenance, and emit harmful emissions that negatively impact our air quality,\u201d Rep. Titus said. \u201cThese buses will save taxpayer dollars, reduce Southern Nevada\u2019s carbon footprint, and help to provide a better experience for the passengers who ride to work and sightsee in Las Vegas every year.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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://titus.house.gov/press-releases/titus-applauds-133-million-us-dot-grant-for-green-fleet-of-buses"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.893488060683012, "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"}
