The state is spending $15 million in federal transportation money to buy new "green" buses for regional transit authorities around Ohio. ODOT brought 41 buses for 11 local and regional systems in Akron, Central Ohio, Cincinnati, Dayton, Springfield and Toledo as well as Clermont, Miami, Portage, Stark and Washington Counties. ODOT's Scott Varner says the purchase includes several kinds of buses.
Varner says ODOT received $33 million in requests, and awarded these buses to not just to cities but also to more rural areas where there's a need for more public transit. |
