The grant was funded by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, a law that Norton heavily shaped through her work as then-Chair of the Subcommittee on Highways and Transit. Norton currently serves as Ranking Member. "I'm pleased with today's announcement that WMATA will receive a $104 million grant for low- and no-emission buses and bus facilities after I wrote a letter supporting its grant application," Norton said. "The funding will be used to procure battery-electric buses, furthering WMATA’s transition to a 100% zero-emission bus fleet by 2045, improving air quality, providing sustainable transportation, and addressing climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the nation's capital.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:08:25Z |
