Of the total announced, $4,838,610 was awarded to the City of Fort Collins’ Transfort Fleet Replacement and Modernization Project. Neguse supported the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s substantial increase in funding for these programs. “I’m excited to welcome more than $8 million to modernize and advance Colorado’s sustainable transportation system. This funding will support critical infrastructure and the transition to low-emission vehicles across the district — from our rural mountain communities to our cities and suburbs,” said Congressman Neguse. “Not only will this investment help improve public health and promote a cleaner commute but it will bolster public transit operations, ensuring everyone has access to reliable transportation.” “On behalf of the City of Fort Collins and Transfort, I want to express my sincere gratitude for this Low or No Emissions grant awarded by the Federal Transit Administration. This support will allow us to replace aging CNG buses with newer, more reliable vehicles that will strengthen our transit system and improve daily service for riders. We deeply appreciate this federal partnership and the vital role it plays in keeping our community moving.” said Mayor Jeni Arndt. The Buses and Bus Facilities Program provides funding for capital projects to replace, rehabilitate and purchase buses and related facilities. The Low or No Emission Program provides funding to local governments for the purchase or lease of zero-emission and low-emission transit buses as well as acquisition, construction and leasing of required supporting facilities. The full list of projects awarded in the 2nd Congressional District is below. Background Congressman Neguse has led the charge to increase funding for the Low or No Emission grant program over his time in Congress. In previous years he has written a letter, joined by his 35 colleagues, that urged for an increase in funding for the Low or No Emission grant program; the House later that year passed H.R. 7617 that included a $50 million increase in funding. The year prior, Congressman Neguse had also fully secured an increased funding for the program by advocating for the same $50 million appropriations increase during. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z |
